About Me

    Hi! I'm Kathryn and stumbled upon this site. I am preparing for upcoming surgery hopefully with the next month or two. Weight loss has been a great struggle for me until finally I could not due to very bad osteoarthritis. I hope this will help me.

  1. Surgery is postponed...insurance did not approve it citing "not medically necessary."  I was calling to check what time I was going to report for surgery, I was told I was not on the list.  Probably due to some finance (insurance) problem and for me to call finance in the morning.  I come home late from work and see the letter from the insurance company stating it did not appear that my doctor was working with me on my weigh loss and that it was not medically necessary.

    I'm frustrated, but not defeated.  I filed for an appeal this morning.  I called the clinic and I was advised to wait.  So now I wait....

      Ah man, I'm sure sorry. I hope things work out, Tatinkg. Sending you good thoughts and hopes for your stupid insurance to come through for you.

      Well that sucks. With a BMI of 41, I thought the "medically warranted" part was a slam dunk?
