Thank you for including your comorbidities, but you also need to tell us WHY they denied you. they must give you a specific reason. If it is because there is an exclusion to weight loss surgery in your policy, then there isn't anything anyone can do.

Is your insurance through an employer? If so, they may not have paid the extra premium for WLS. If that is the case, it simply isn't covered.

The other poster is correct, if you want suggestions you will have to explain why they denied you.

If you have no WLS coverage you can also look into self pay. Mine was in Mexico for $7800. It is usually $8200 but they had a special going at the time.

There are also companies that will lend money at reasonable rates for medical procedures. Your surgeon probably has brochures in his office.

If your policy ordinarily covers wls but denied yours (that's not uncommon) you can appeal. And there are lawyers who specialize in weight loss surgery appeals (google).

Ok try this have your Doctor resubmit the paper work but don't but on there it is for weight loss surgery, it's for the reason you stated. Try that, it worked for me. I'll be banded in July on the 11th. In Honolulu by Dr. Fowler. Good Luck and hang in there.
