What !! Crazy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I felt this way & now i might not be approved so of course I feel the opposite lol write down pro's & con's none based on fear but actual facts trust me you will go surgery route. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you ! I will. I just keep hearing you can't appeal if it is a plan exclusion. I just don't understand why approve it then deny then approve & now I'm in limbo. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was approved by my insurance in October for VSG. I completed all the requirement's & this week went for pre-op testing, date all ready for dec 1st. Yesterday my surgeon call's to say the hospital submitted to the benefits office who state I have an exclusion under my employer Cigna plan. I then go ahead & call my HR who puts me over to advocate who calls the insurance ( Cigna) we are advised it is covered & they will resend the approval. I just don't know what to think ?? It seems there is an exclusion but they miss it ? Override it ? I don't even know exhausted at this point with this mess. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was shocked @ no endoscopy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just returned from my pre-op visit. My doctor does not do the liquid diet pre-op & no endoscopy will be done before surgery I just had blood work & chest X-ray . I do have to wash with hi-bcleanse which they provided. Any similar experiences ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The same thing happened to me. Download the app called Facebook groups. I didn't even know it existed (the app). Then you search Janus and it will pop up & once you join & the admin accepts it will be on your regular Facebook feed that's the only way I was able to find it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
