Denied but I won't give up

[GBLady41 393]

Today I found out that my application was denied. I was upset at first, wondering if I am supposed to get this surgery. I had doubt in my heart. But then I started thinking about the reasons I need this surgery, and how this surgery is a Godsend for us. It gives us an opportunity to regain control of our lives, and live it on our terms. And I became convinced once again that this surgery is what God wants for me. But He never said it would be easy. And I'm a fighter. I've had to fight to get this far. And I will continue to fight!!!

And I'm blessed because the wonderful person helping me with my application is more than ready to appeal as soon as possible. I'm also blessed because I have a place like this where I can come and be myself and give and receive support.

So...here we go!!! Please send prayers and good vibes my way!????

I'm so afraid I'm going to be denied due to a false positive drug test I have not eaten really since Wednesday. I have anxiety problems anyway (PTSD, OCD, GAD) and I just want to vomit. After I get my sleep study in a few weeks they are going to go ahead and submit to insurance and see if they deny it what we need to do.

I hope that you get your approval the first time around. Keep on fighting. Keep on believing. It will happen for both of us. We are both going to have our surgeries and they will be a success!!

@@GBLady41 Best of luck to you. Glad to hear you back in the ring and willing to fight for it. A year from now you will look back on this post and see it was but a bump in the road.

Insurance companies are hard to deal wiTh - like they are looking for a reason to deny. Keep after them, with your doctor's help or another advocate working on it, you will get there!

Hi guys!!

I wanted to give an update. I'm in the process of appealing the denial. Hopefully I'll be able to either today or tomorrow. My coordinator had to wait for consult notes from my providers before she can submit the appeal. I'm excited and looking forward to my approval!!
