Considering surgery in Mexico if UHC 100% denies me and I can't get it cheap enough here in Texas. Which Mexico surgeon/facility did you use? Any complications/infections? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's been over 40 for 3 years including this year but insurance doesn't include the current year @@kmorri Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@kmorri they already did the peer to peer and the guy was just a regular primary care physician and said he wasn't able to overturn the weight history denial but suggested we submit everything to appeals along with a letter explaining why.. This time I have other comorbidies as well so who knows. Hopefully an actual surgeon can review it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@kmorri I have 2 eligibility requirements. 5 years 40+ bmi and over the age of 21. They denied me for not having 5 years 40 bmi but this is a revision surgery for an eroded lapband I had removed in 2011.. I didn't get back up to 40 bmi until 2014 (lost 60 lbs with the band and it was covered under this same policy) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wondering who out there had success in getting their initial denial overturned? Would love to hear your story! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My insurance likely won't approve my surgery and my plan B fell thru. Looking for Houston TX surgeons that will bill insurance for a hiatal hernia repair then charge cash for remaining sleeve portion of the surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Have you gotten an update? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I was denied in the peer to peer as well so now it's on to appeals Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was denied first go round because I don't have 5 years of a 40 bmi because I had my lapband in place in 2011 but it eroded and was removed then. Took me about 2 years to fully regain the 40 lbs lost. My surgeon has the peer to peer next week. Hoping he'll overturn the denial. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I have a fairly severe allergy to candida and also have autoimmune and need to take a daily probiotic to stay healthy. Is this something we can take post-op? If so, how do you take yours? Capsule, break the capsule, liquid form (if that exists)? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
