SuperDave 1,115 Posted November 18, 2014 Good luck! I had a couple denials before the final approval. In the end it was worth the wait. I'm sure it will all work out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm afraid of being denied. I have no clue what the process is after the first denial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperDave 1,115 Posted November 18, 2014 How many denials did you get? I'm afraid of being denied. I have no clue what the process is after the first denial. I had 2 denials. The first was a legitimate reason and the second was basically a communication problem between the office and the insurance company. Once that was sorted out I was approved. It took about 4 months from first submission to insurance until my surgery date. Hopefully yours is quicker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully yours is quicker!I'm really hoping to get approved the first time around. I had to switch insurance so their requirements are alittle different. I'm at a 39 BMI and they want 40 and above. I go for my last weigh in one Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
