At the time of my first request I was vomitting rusty colored coffee ground looking stuff that was confirmed to be blood and they still denied . They just didn't want to pay and thought I would go away if they told me no..... They were wrong lol

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that!!  I'm glad you were persistent.  I don't have any co-morbidities.  Was that a requirement from you insurance company to have the revision?

No it wasn't a requirement for revision
