The only explaination they gave was simply that they don't cover it. I will not give up. This is horrible. Thanks for the replies everyone!

I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea...

@2bsmaller I spoke to my consultant and she advised me to get a benefit summary from my insurance company ASAP. She said they will start the appeal process immediately. I am so upset... I don't understand why they are so quick to deny this procedure when it has benefited so many people. I have United Health Care. @Doriehi thank you!

Today I recieved a letter of denial from my insurance company I went through the entire pre-op and I had all the qualifications; BMI more than 40, medical problems etc. I am so sad and upset at the same time. I was afraid this was going to happen.

Im sorry I posted this to the wrong forum

My insurance company has placed me on a six month "waiting period".... I am so worried because I was told that there is no guarantee that they will approve the procedure.... I have finished my pre-op and I will be having my second sleep study this weekend... I would hate to be wasting time to complete the requirements if they decide not to pay for it in the end.... has this ever happened to anyone? Thanks!

Hi there. I am new here. I have started my lap band journey. I am looking to lose 80-90lbs. I am so nervous! I am hoping that my insurance covers the procedure since I have a lot of health complications. I am looking forward to meeting new friends!
