I was denied by my insurance initially. Be persistent...it pays off. It took me a year of talking back and forth with my insurance company - I called every doctor I'd ever been to in order to determine my heaviest weight. I bugged everyone because I knew this was what was best for my health.
I had a sleep study and was diagnosed with sleep apnea, which I think helped my chances of being approved. I told my contact at the insurance company I would appeal the decision if it was denied again because I knew this was the right tool for me to finally lose the weight.
I had my surgery April 27th and do not regret it one bit.
Good Luck - I wish you well - I know how difficult it is emotionally to hear that you've been denied.
