I got my denial but...



Recommended Posts

I don't know if ya'll remember me stating that MY company was the one that would deny me for lapband. I went ahead and had the doctor send my information into the insurance company, ready for a fight on my hands, several appeals and to get my lapband by June. Well things have changed! I got my denial, but the good news is they denied be because of the 6 month supervised weight loss plan! First off everything probably wasn't sent in til March 10th and the doctor got a faxed denial back by today that's only ten days give or take a day. But it means that if I do the 6 months weightloss they will approve me so I hope! I had wanted to do this over the summer, but if I can get it done at the end of the year and have insurance pay for it instead of going self-pay I'm willing to do that!

Just wanted to share with everyone....

There is light at the end of the tunnel for you bradleybanana...go figure there are always hoops to jump through! Try and use this time to practice the behavior modifications and exercise ( if you don't). Then you'll be setting yourself up for success! Good Luck...I'm waiting to approval too!

I am with you. Hopefully you get approved as soon as you finish your 6 month weight loss program.

I am on the same boat with BCBS TX, they request a 6 month supervised weight loss porgram and I am exited to say that I am on 5th month, however it has been difficult to loose weight as I am always hungry, but at the same time I haven't gain any weight. I am sustaining it.

Don't give up your hope and keep in touch.

Regards

Vicky

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
