Feeling better :)



Recommended Posts

As of the 24th of November, I was official denied surgery.

However, I have since spoken to the authorization department to get more information. My denial letter also came in the mail today.

I need to submit my journal and proof that the doctor supervised me during the program I did.

So, I will be faxing that tomorrow... and hoping that they will approve it before my original date.. so I can keep it on December 20th!

I hope it's as easy as it sounds. The lady I talked to mentioned I had a lot of paperwork but was just missing those two things and that's why I was denied.

:)

I'm feeling VERY hopeful and VERY VERY optimistic!

Appeal!!! And read your policy. Often times, copany polices are a little different than the "generic insurance company" version. Make sure you know the exact REASON that you were denied.

I won my appeal once, and now twice... don't give up.

I am also crossing my fingers, I felt your dissapointment when you posted about your denial. It sounded like you had everyone that would qualify a person for the surgery so the fact that some paperwork got lost/misplaced is not surprising but certainly an easily corrected error! So yay for you and best wishes.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
