I'm sending good and second request approval thoughts your way. I'm sorry you got such awful news... hopefully it'll just become a minor speed bump on your way to bandom.

just got word on Monday, I am 43 pounds away from 49.9BMI, insurance will not approve until then for lapband but will approve bypass. I too am upset, disappointed, etc.

My primary gave me merida to help but I feel as I have fallen off my wagon! I have another appointment with my surgeon on May 8th. Has anyone had any success appealing to insurance who have been denied being over 50BMI??
