Totally agree with you Bert I wouldnt even gone through all this if I knew at the end of the day it wouldnt have worked out

Thanks for all the input. I didn't even think about checking with my insurance company 1st because since day 1 all I heard from the docs office is "we will take care of everything" that is my fault also! Thank you For the website I was look around see what I find! The fight for lap band isn't over yet!

It was so close I could taste it. 7 months of pre op for no reason I am in such shock

Nope it's not covered no matter what. It's a blame game at this point the insurance says its the docs fault and the docs office are saying its thier fault. According to the insurance company the office never even asked if the insurance was covered. The docs office says they are the innocent third party, I don't agree. I think they dropped the ball big time, and they don't even care. Should I get a lawyer??

Please give me some feedback of what to do. My surgery was supposed to be in 14 days and I haven't heard from my doctors office about insurance aprroval. I called the docs office and they asked me to call my insurance to find out what's going on. I called the insurance to find out baratric surgery is not covered at all. To make a long story short I called the docs office back and they said they verified that indeed they do cover the surgery because they called and asked in september. I then called back the insurance company and they referred back to septembers notes and showed they called only to see if a upper gi is covered. I did so much to get this surgery 6 months weigh ins, cardiologist, endriocolgist, polmongist, Gail bladder sono, upper gi, and physic evaluation. And they canceled the surgery in 1 sec. I feel like someone is responsible for this. What do I do???

I need some help!! I got my surgery date woohoo but the following week I start a new job. I dont know what to do because it requires me to set up thr store since its new. I am concernedy body Wont be ready for this!! All feedback is welcomed!!
