I had gastric bypass surgery in 2004. My fore arm skin and stomach has not retracted like it should. I’ve contacted several surgeons in the Atlanta, GA area but unfortunately, they really prefer I pay out of pocket. I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield who will cover some of the expenses but the surgeons won’t even submit the paperwork to the insurance company. Any suggestions?

I woundn’t go and see a surgeon unless he/she would try submitting it to the insurance co. In some cases, insurance companies will cover a tummy tuck (for the reasons you are having the tummy tuck, it is called something else…I can’t remember what it is called) if you have problems such as sores or irritations due to the excess skin.

They have some really good information; although, I am sure you have already checked out their site….

Lap Band testimony of Jane from Dallas, TX who went to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico for the gastric lap band surgery. She shares her experience about the doctors, hospital, nurses & the medical trip in general. Medical Tourism Corporation facilitated the trip. Other medical procedures like gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, hernia, gall bladder removal, orthopedics, dental implants are also done at the same health care facility. The proximity to Texas border, easy flights, surgeon credentials & low cost was the reason Jane chose the hospital in Juarez, Mexico. Laparoscopic gastric band is one of the least invasive weight loss surgery that is growing in popularity. Mexico, Costa Rica, India & Belgium are some of the places where board certified bariatric surgeons perform the procedure at a big savings compared to the self pay cost in the US. Other Mexico locations are Tijuana near San Diego, Reynosa near McAllen, Tx, and Monterrey, Mexico. http://www.medicaltourismco.com/weight-loss/lap-band-ciudad-juarez-mexico.php

Sometime late in February, Medicare passed no more gastric bypass surgery would be allowed. However, they would approve, I believe, if the hospital and or surgeon was somehow aproved by them. They had to have some type of acreditation (if there is such a word) before they would approve the surgery. Also I think a high percentage of their surgeries had to be the different forms of gastric bypass surgery. Has anyone heard the latest on this?

A friend told me their is a place that does not only the surgery but does some liposuction at the time of surgery. Don’t know if this is true. But they have not been approved by Medicare either.

Whatever help anyone can give would be appreciated.

well check with the insurance companys, then the drs, surgen office and see if they do it. and one you really have to be over weight to have this done. if your 500 lbs check with the drs. and then you have to get approval for the surgery and get an medical exam and clearance. so good luck to you.

http://www.gastricbypasssanfrancisco.com/rose-procedure-dr-feng-san-francisco-ca.htm he ROSE procedure essentially involves reducing the gastric bypass stoma and pouch smaller using endoscopic techniques and special instruments. New surgical tools now allow surgeons to reduce the size of the pouch and stoma through the patients mouth without making external cuts into the body. Your surgeon may refer to this as the ROSE procedure, which stands for Restorative Obesity Surgery, Endolumenal.
