November 21st for me had a long journey but its worth it..

Thanks I researched before hand i thought fairly well, but as i got deeper into this particular mess i started hearing from my pcp that they have had problems with this outfit before huh thanks for telling me now, i have no problem woth the surgeon just a particular person and apparently they holds all the cards but oh well i must keep moving forward. I am from georgia

Hey all We all expect to fight for this surgery from an insurance standpoint right well how bout from the surgeons standpoint no way huh Well this is what has happened to me my insurance company are actually being an advovate for me the doctors office politics are a nightmare they screwed up some paperwork and wont admit to it and one person is actually lying to.try to cover it up. We need trust in the surgeons office we choose and i have lost that trust with them. So i am going to.choose a new surgeon and start fresh soooo frustrating. So i have been battling this crap since march with this office. And i have become exhausted. At least the insurance company is on my side. They are filing a greivance with the dr office in question.

I'm from west palm beach, florida and my surgeon was Paul Wizman hi im from wpb fla as well but moved to north ga w my family in 89

So happy for all with dates!

Thanks it means alot.

I have been sitting on pins since i heard they said no, meeting with my pcp Monday to file appeal

Good for you. I am waiting on an appeal to my insurance company. Date was set foot July 9 now i don't know

I got a surgery date and now the insurance company said no. What.!? Not medically necessary? I don't understand this at all diabetes, weight related early onset arthritis high cholesterol the list goes on . I had tohave a hysterectomy in 2004 because pcos was so severe so no kids for me and lord knows i desired them then had to have gallbladder removed in 2007. i have spent thousands on diets and exercise programs and doctors all i want is help a tool (surgery) so i can maintain a normal healthy weight for me so i can live a better life.. I know skinny people get some of these same health problems but as we all know being obese is a death sentence in and of it self tack on the extras and what chance do we have aaaaaaaaerrrrrrrhhhhhhgggggg!!!!! But i will keep fighting think positively for me would you all?

Hey welcome my surgery is July 9. This is a great site.
