denied, now playing the waiting game

hey guys, i am so dissapointed, i probably shouldn't be i guess i kind of ecpected the denial but i guess in the back of my mind i was hoping it would be approved. The letter says this is not a denial of service, so i take that to mean i do qualify for WLS just not the sleeve because they consider it investigational. Several people on this site have shown that some companies are now approving this so i'm hoping to win this by appeal. my letter is all ready to go, Tuesday i will fax it over to Anthem BC of CA and pray that they will approve it. Fully intend to take it even further if i have to i just hate all the delays. thanks for being there and wish me luck, jeani
