I'm new to this sight but was wondering if anyone out there has been denied by Highmark BCBS & won their appeal. I have a bmi of 42 & have been denied because I'm under a bmi of 50. I know that the sleeve is the best option for me but am wondering if there's even a chance of having it overturned. They will cover lap band or bypass for me but am not comfortable with those options. When I first looked into surgery I thought lap band was the way to go but upon doing more research the sleeve is definatly the best option for me. So if anyone has any advice or tips for me please help!!
