Denied By insurance Company



Recommended Posts

:smile2: Well, I heard from my insurance company on wed 4/23 and they denied my lap band that I was supposed to have done on Tues 4/29. Great timing. I have sent in an appeal and I have my insurance broker working on it. I hope to hear from her soon. I will keep you all informed on the final decision.

Sorry!!!! That is terrible. Have you applied for Care credit? It's a loan, which isn't as good as getting covered but I got approved with less than perfect credit. Most WL surgeons accept it. And they approve you on line. Pretty good plan- no interest for the 1st year... I've decided to have it as a back up in case BCBS won't cover.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
