this process is horrible

Really sucks. I'm sorry.

I finally got the information the insurance company wanted, still waiting on approval. I'm not giving up.

Hang in there

Did they say why it was denied?

My surgeon's office didn't check my packet before sending it in to make sure they had all my records. My insurance required my weights for the last 5 years and they only sent in one. I requested my older medical records and sent them to the insurance co myself. Still waiting on appeal letter.

That must be pretty frustrating. At least the denial was just for a technicality instead of a medical reason. Let us know how the appeal turns out!

I will ?

Wow! So sorry you're going through this and also sad you feel invisible here on the boards. I want to encourage you to fill out your profile. Add a piccy or avatar to your profile! Start participating in threads started by other people. Especially hang out in the General Weight Loss Surgery Forum, because it's most active. Maybe you are posting in a "dead" area? I inserted the link to it for your convenience.

My experience has been very positive at Bariatric Pal: nice people, responsive admins...and trust me, that's not been the case at other WLS forums! But, I realize my experience isn't your experience.

Hope you will stick around and start diving in! ((hugs))

I got my approval yesterday!!! I'm so happy, I'm glad I stuck with it.

FluffyChix - thank you for the info, I can use a computer, but I'm not all into social media and don't really know how to navigate all of this stuff.

I'm an introvert and I'm working hard on vulnerability and socialization.

I'm trying to upload a pic of myself, I'll get there.
