Denied

Because I don't have any life threatening issues.my BMI is over 50 but I am otherwise healthy.

Yes you do... Your BMI is 50. They need to get their heads out of their butts.

[Hannah55 79]

They will be sending a letter the details. I will appeal their decision.

Sorry to hear this, some insurance only require bmi over 40 with no co-morbidities. Hope you get some clarity and answers soon.

BMI is over 50 - otherwise healthy.

sorry insurance denied you

you MUST appeal!!!! if they still deny you - i think you can still appeal one more time

just because you don't have an official "co-morbity" yet - having BMI over 50 is very unhealthy

the insurance company seems to want to wait til you are "officially" sicker, with a co-morbitity before they will help you

its so frustrating to you, upsetting

i think "all of us sleevers" are upset with the crazy insurance companies - the "trouble" that some have to deal with to be ok'd by ins.

its just their rules/requirements to be covered for WLS

you must stand up and fight for yourself - no one else will

good luck

wish you the best
