Dr. John Bagnato - Need advice...Where do I go from here?



Recommended Posts

My secondary insurance (arkansas bcbs) denied request for lapband surgery because I didn't have a BMI of 40 or more,even with my co-morbidities(diabetes-typeII;high chlorestorol;high bp;rheumatoid arthritis;hypothyroidism). will I have to self-pay or can Dr. Bagnato do a second consultation for any changes? I'm angry,disappointed, need this surgery. My husband said it sounds like an omen that I shouldn't have the surgery. I don't feel an appeal will make any changes in their decision unless I gain weight to have the surgery to loose weight. Isn't that ridiculous?:w00t::eek::thumbup::eek:
