My doctor told me that no insurance will cover any of the surgeries that go down your throat ie: stomaphx. He also told me that with a revision you only lose between 20-30 lbs. But as disappointing as that is, that is still a start for me. I think I could do it if I had a jump start. I also kept mine off a long time, then it came back in a short period of time. The day of surgery in 2000 I was 293, and in 2015 I was 165. Now today I am 276 so almost where I was before. I hate it!! I want to cry everyday. Took 5 years to gain it all back when I kept it off for 15. That's what happens when you get married and quit working.

your insurance information is requesting more information from your provider, which means your provider was provided with that information and either they will reach out or you can be proactive and reach out to them and ask what they need. You may try and call insurance as well and a nice rep may give you that information

Hi,would you mind me asking what was needed to get it approved. My insurance company requested more information before approval.

hey hey, any update?

I had my RNY gastric bypass in 2005. I lost 120 pounds and kept most of it off until about 6 years ago...started creeping up and up. Tried all the diets and have decided to go for a revision. I visited my same surguery group, New York Bariatric Group, and went through all of my testing over the summer. Now waiting on approval & surgery date. Been waiting for a MONTH. I have NYSHIP. Any thoughts?
