Hello everyone, I am new to the site. I am in the process of having all my medical needs done in order to have the Gastric Sleeve Surgery. All I have left to do is my sleep study which is this Friday and I am waiting for an appt. for my endoscopy. Then I guess they will submit everything to my ins. co. I have Great West-Cigna and have followed everything to a T in order to be approved. What are the chances they deny me for some reason??? I would be so upset!! I am so ready to have a new beginning!!

I had to see a nutritionist, psychologist, primary for a detailed physical with tons of lab work. I also had to have a sleep apnea study and an endoscopy. The good news is after all that I have met my deductible so the surgery itself shouldn't cost me much!

Thank you! This is what is happening to me. My primary had to say/write the actual words "cleared for surgery"! Thanks.

My surgeon's office called last week to tell me my insurance co. wanted additional information from my primary doctor. Today I got a letter from my insurance co. saying that they were not approving the surgery because it was not deemed medically necessary and that information was not provided by primary physician. I have not spoken with my surgeon's office yet but based on opinions is this a final decision or will the insurance co. change once they get the info from my primary??? Freaking out here!!! I have ran up so many medical bills in order to have this surgery!!
