Scared of being denied....



Recommended Posts

I'm worrying too about being denied for some obscure reason however all the testing is what's really bothering me in these beginning stages.

I'm 61, my BMI is 36.9, I have diabetes, sleep apnea, high BP and cholesterol and a few other things that qualify me. My worry is really irrational I know. I keep pulling back my hopefulness and excitement for fear that one of the tests will disqualify me.

Super irrational since 14 months ago I had major surgery for a shattered humorous which I came through with flying colors.

Just 2 months ago I was put under for dental work and everything was fine.

I just wonder if all my anxiety is at a deeper psychological level... Like I somehow don't deserve to be thin, healthy and happy. Thoughts?

You need to get info from your insurance company. Coverage varies greatly. I read documentation from my carrier and made calls. When calling, be patient and be prepared to get transferred several times!
