  1. What’s really messed up is my insurance has no record of anything being submitted for surgery. I called to ask about the denial and they didn’t know what I was taking about. I’ve emailed and voicemails the insurance lady at bariatric and can’t get a response.
  2. I’m waiting to hear back from my doctors office. Friday I called my insurance company to ask questions and they had no idea what I was talking about. They have no record of anything being submitted for surgery. Wtf? And I don’t understand. Why make you jump through hoops. If I could lose and keep it off I wouldn’t ask for surgery. I’ve had 2 weight losses over 100 pounds, used to work out like crazy. I just can’t seem to keep it off. It’s not fair. I’m tired of being fat.
  3. Going through Dr. Kia in Flint, Michigan. Did my 6 weigh ins and consistently lost 1-2 lbs every month. In December was put on Depakote and began to gain weight. Was just denied due to the gain and even worse was told none of my weigh ins count and I’m starting over. I’m devastated. Going to appeal. Anyone have advice? Mclaren Health Plan.
  4. Going through Dr Kia in Flint, michigan. I did my 6 weigh ins and consistently lost 1 or 2 lbs every month. In December I was put on Depakote and began to gain weight. Just received 1st denial due to last couple weigh ins I gained. Not only that was told none of my previous weigh ins can be used and I’m starting over. Writing an appeal letter. Does anyone have any advice? Mclaren Health Plan insurance.
