FINALLY! What was the holdup on your other appeals- was it the Dr's office or the insurance?! I am so happy for you!

CONGRATS!!! What a process..... I wish the insurance companies would recognize that this really saves them money and us health in the long run.

No kidding. My insurance company has a rider on it that it will not pay for any weight loss procedures. Ok but they will pay for all the health crisis' that come from being overweight. ?????

Thank you all so much. It was the insurance. First, they denied bc I didn't have every weight listed from every dr visit from the past 3 yrs. So I got them. Then they said obesity is pre-existing so they won't cover. Even though I've never been treated for it. Finally, when the year was up and everything was resubmitted they said I had no comorbidities. Which I have 2. Resent all that and wa-la, they approved. My surgeons office is amazing. They are Dr. Turton & staff in Lagrange, Ga.
