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!

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.

Topic: RE: Looking for skilled surgeon in Phoenix, AZ

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.

Topic: RE: Question regarding sleeve revision

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
