I'm very upset right now b/c for the past 6 months i've been going to the dr and dietician for 6 months straight, saw a psyc, and did meal replacements only to find out that I was DENIED!!!! Now get this...they said i as denied b/c i didn't have documentation of 6 months non surgical weighloss, (duhhh i saw dietician for 6 months) and also b/c i only have 1 comorbid (high blood pressure) When i 1st started on this journey, the dr assured me that it wld be no problem for me to get approval with a BMI of 35 and HBP...What am I to do now??? PLEASE SOME HELP ME.....
