Got my insurance denial letter today. Makes feel like eating a cheeseburger with an ice cream on top. Appeal here we come.

Don't give up! Keep pushing and appealing. You will prevail! I will say a prayer. Good luck.

Insurance should really find a new way of processing. To tell a person that they have not been obese for a long enough period of time?? Walk 10 years in my shoes. It just gets me.They have no idea.

I think they just make stuff up so they can deny it and hope you give up the fight.

Any luck with appealing the Insurance Company? Or any update? Prayers sent your way.

Hello, I am 37 and have similar weight loss goals. I just had roux N Y three days ago and I am sore but doing well. Just started full liquids and I am already down three pounds from my pre-op weight. Don't give up. Your surgeon should go to bat for you as well. Mine specifically told me he would speak with my insurance company if they did not approve my surgery. Keep fighting!!

Love my doctor but he is dragging his feet in writing the appeal letter. 30 days is up on Friday and it still hasnt been done. I have called both Aetna and my doctors office about 8 times. Losing hope.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
