Hi Donna, thanks for sharing your experience. I gotta say, the perfectionist comment cracked me up! That is so crazy that happened, how scary. Glad you're better now.
revision but for gerd - but the proecdure is the rny so the effect will also be to lose weight. my bmi is in normal range so i was approved only based on my gerd not for weight loss. i am praying my gerd will get better. I cant keep waking up the way i do with my gerd now. good luck next week. one step at a time is all we can do. i am trying not to future trip and just staying where my feet are currently. otherwise my head is spinning out of control to what is christmas going to be like - whats my bday going to be like - will i be sick? will my gerd be gone? will i be in pain in a month? will i get to where my fav dress in a month for my husbands 50th bday? silly i know. thats why these forums help. they keep me a bit sane thru this waiting zone. big hug to u
Is this a weight loss procedure? I thought is was a surgery to help empty the contents of the stomach. Hope all goes well for you in your upcoming surgery. I had to postpone my surgery due to family illness. I am calling next week to reschedule. I was hoping the GERD would improve...no luck. Really not looking forward to the revision but is something I have to do.
Oh my goodness this is what is happening to me. I have severe GERD am due for a revision from VSG to bypass in 3 weeks. I am hoping this will fix it.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I changed insurance about 3 months into the process, so Kelly refunded me most of my money back as a courtesy. I hope things go your way!
Hello,
i don't think the records are available.
HI, I know this post is three years old, but how did things work out? I have also been denied and have asked Lindstrom to help me if the peer to peer with my doctor doesnt do any good. Did you get your insurance to approve you in the end?

Hi,
I know this post is three years old, but how did things work out? Kelly is going to be helping me with my insurance denial as well. Crossing my fingers.

using dr swain at honor bariatric for my revision sleeve to rny. i was previously working with dr madura at mayo. both very good. insurance reasons made me move from mayo to to honor but i think it actually has been a good thing. lots and lots of pre post and long term support.
interesting - my situation was just the opposite. i was scheduled to have a gastrojejunostomy but got denied at the very last minute because of the fact that i had previously had a sleeve. even though i am in a "normal"bmi range they are still having me go thru a bariatric center of excelence . i am fine with it in the end because i was approved very quickly. scheduled for 10/1
