i called my insurance company and i swear, they are useless! the lady had no idea what i was talking about. i ended up calling my surgeons office.... smh! the insurance coordinator answered. she was so rude that i wanted to really curse her out! im super vulnerable & sensitive at this point & i expect reassurance when i call these people, not to be cut off & given attitude! i didnt even finish my sentence before she cut me off with an annoyed attitude & told me i need to be patient & basically wastrying to tell me not to call her! you would think i call her all day long the way she talked to me! smfh. im def not having a good day today!

youre right! especially if diabetes runs in your family! my bmi is 50! im only 23! being over weight will eventually kill me because of the health problems headed my way! i pray to god that i am approved. my mom has diabetes & i dont want to end up on meds again! they had me on metformin in the past because of being pre diabetic! i NEED this surgery! dont get me wrong, i look forward to looking good too! but its more of a need than just want.

congrats on your approval! they never called you to tell you? how rude!!! if you dont mind me asking, whats your bmi? do u have co morbidities & wat insurance do u have?
-
The Waiting Game..until insurance approves Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
i think they feel like they rather pay for the what ifs rather than pay for one large lump sum of bills such as surgery. also, i think if u dont have severe co morbidities, they give u a hard time! they told someone i know who was 600lbs that it was cosmetic! HOW THE HELL IS THAT COSMETIC??? i couldnt believe it!

The Waiting Game..until insurance approves Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
