Maybe this just isn't meant to be?

I've been so excited for everyone getting their approvals today so, I decided to check on my status...

I've been denied again! I'm starting to think maybe this just isn't going to happen for me? I'm waiting on the surgeons office to call & see what is up!

So upset right now..

How frustrating! I was denied initially because of my visits to the nutritionist so I went 1 more time and Aetna approved me the next day! My secondary was still reviewing my auth the day of my surgery and luckily approved it later that day as well! So don't give up! If you meet the qualifications and its covered by your insurance, they should approve you!

I was also denied by insurance. However, I did not let that get me down. I started that day saying I would do something. So I worked 3 jobs, started eating right, and started walking. Within a year I was able to come up with half of the money for surgery and was down almost 30 pounds! I had my surgery and continued with my journey. It wasn't a quick fix, I have had many ups and downs, but it was worth the hard work it took to get here! Anything worth having is worth the hard work! If you want it, make it happen!

So sorry to hear that!!! I took about 5 months before I made a decision to get it done and when I finally made the appointment.... I was so nervous I was going to be denied!!! I totally agree absolutely do not give up!! See how much it is put of pocket and see if you can do a payment plan. There has to be something!! Look at your policy and see what it says about covering procedures that are "medically necessary". There may be a loop hole. I've heard other banders who have got approval because they read there policy and found out themselves or have set up payment plans. Work hard and never give up!! You will get what you want in the end if you just be persistent!!!! I'm sending good thoughts to you!!!

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
