So disappointed :'(

Im still waiting for word on the appeal. I hate bcbs. They are ridiculous. I cant believe they dont have anyway of getting in contact with the appeals dept except by mail....snail mail. I was told they dont have a number. So basically theres no way of knowing whether or not it actually made it into the hands of anyone. And they said id recieve a letter after 30 or 45 days telling me their decision. If i haven't heard anything by then, then they can supposedly email the dept but i have to wait the allotted time. Its so frustrating and i have completely given up hope. I have gained so much weight in the process and at times i feel so worthless. wish i had never gotten that horrible band. Worst decision i ever made!

Dr. Rodriguez in Mexico is amazing and he does in house financing! Maybe just for a plan B.

I was denied as well. A Peer-to-Peer was scheduled for yesterday and MY DOCTOR MISSED IT!!! I don't know if there was an emergency or not, but I was sooooooo upset. Now I have to wait another week. I know a week doesn't seem like a long time to some, but I too am just so anxious to get this over with. I have GERD so bad I can't sleep. I have to lie in an upright position. PLUS, my chest hurts and it's hard to breathe. I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Just want this revision so badly.

I was first denied (1199SEIU); my medical team appealed and I was approved in 2 weeks.

The appeal process was so quick that I didn't even get notified of the denial before my doctor called me to let me know that they appealed and won. I was clueless anything had even happened.

Good luck!!

So i write this with mixed feelings today. I finally got approved for my revision surgery after months and months of waiting. I gave up. But now i can't have the surgery because i am pregnant. I am very disappointed that i couldn't get the surgery sooner but i am definitely so happy to be having a baby. I guess ill have to wait a year now.

Thank you. I am so happy about the baby but i don't know why i feel like i am a bad person for wishing they would havw approved the surgery months ago. Im leaving my job with the insurance that approved yhw surgery finally and i dont know how thats gonna work with my soon to bw husbands insurance for next year. He has blue cross blue shield of Texas and i dont know if they have bariatric benefits. Im on an emotions roller coaster and im scared that im never gonna be able to have revision surgery with a new baby on the way.
