Why does this have to be so hard I called again today after the center told me that I should be covered. Well the girl on the telephone talked to her supervisor and said as long as the doctor believes I will be approved and files a claim they will pay for it. That's the funky answer, but it works for me :sad_smile: Anyone else have any concrete proof? I know i'm a skeptic, but when it comes to that much money if it's not approved I can't take a chance.

Yeah they just got approved as a center of excellence. That's why they called me. Just not sure about what all the other illnesses are that's related to obesity. They would only mention 2. I'm sure there has to be more :/ I've had high BP before. My first child I had preclampsia -spelling-. The high BP didn't go away after she was born. Had to take meds for months afterward. It finally went down. If I use any salt at all my BP raises. Had a doctor fuss at me for it. And I only use salt in rare circumstances.

Ok new here. Got a call yesterday about my referral to a surgeon. Have medicare and tenncare. They had to get credited or something. Was told that since my BMI was 42 that I wouldn't need a co morbidity. Called Medicare today to make sure. Medicare said I would have to have a obesity related illness. Was told High BP or diabetes. Asked if there was any others. Said no. Was she right? She was just reading from a list. And didn't spend much time looking into it :/ Really wanna know if others understand the process more. Thanks in advance!
