Just wondering how long will it be until I get my answer from them for my revision from the Sleeve to RNY?

I live in Oklahoma. This is going in as a medical necessity due to my hiatal hernia severe acid reflux. Since this is November would like to have my surgery before the year ends.

Hello,

did you have any denials along the way? I have Highmark BCBS and am seeking a bypass after my band had to be removed. I was told some dx code from testing for lapband failure or the band removal itself triggers my "one per lifetime bariatric benefit" as used!?! I didn't have this insurance when I got my band.

any info helpful,

thanks!

Four months felt like way too long to wait, so I decided to look for another option. That's when I found help through https://mr-cooper.pissedconsumer.com/review.html Mr. Cooper instead. Honestly, it's been much easier and faster to get quick cash from them compared to my previous experience. Their process was straightforward, and it really saved me a lot of stress when I needed funds quickly. Definitely a good alternative if you don't want to wait forever
