Appeal

[kerri76 1]

Hello.

I was banded May 2010 and lost 80 of 200 lbs. I have since gained all my weight and then some. I went through the insurance process to get approved and was denied because I had a previous WLS. I am appealing the denial by the insurance company. My husband is a union plumber and the ins is through the union. When I was denied I was told that I could appeal the decision in front of the board of trustees. Tomorrow I am going to the meeting and will plead my case to them. The only chance I have at approval is that the only WLS that was allowed by ins at the time of my decision was the Lapband. Now gastric bypass and Lapband is approved. I was not given an option. The better option (based on my food addiction) would have been bypass. Do you think I have a leg to stand on? I am so nervous that these people will judge me.

I think that your appeal should work

Yeah how did it go? My hats off to you appealing it. Most people just lay down and take their denial.
