jennk1975 16 Posted September 20, 2016 I think I am more anxious to get to my surgery date than I was when I was 8 months pregnant to have my kids. I finished all of my testing and classes, just waiting to get insurance approval before I get the surgery date. So anxious!

I had my EGD this morning. Luckily/unfortunately (lol) they found a pretty big hiatal hernia, so I hopefully won't have any trouble with approval since fixing the hernia is medically necessary. I am just in limbo until they actually submit. Best of luck to you! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sumaire 75 Posted September 30, 2016 I think I'd contest that. Are they trying to use Medicaid guidelines or something? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennk1975 16 Posted September 30, 2016 I think I'd contest that. Are they trying to use Medicaid guidelines or something? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I am not sure. I have UHC through GE. I think they're just acting like an HMO despite being a PPO. We are limited to what pharmacy we can use. So controlling.
