  1. Ok, Called insurance this morning and they said it was denied because the dr's records didn't prove it to be medically necessary. So, we just need to submit more. Whew, I can sleep tonight.
  2. Tonight, I went on BC's website to check my status, and it shows "disallowed". Does this mean I have no chance? I was expecting either "approved" or "denied", so I'm not sure what to make of disallowed? I've put in a message to my dr's insurance nurse, and I'm sure she'll get back to me tomorrow, but I needed to vent somewhere that I knew I would be understood. I can't fall asleep and I'm so upset. All this after loosing the required 10% and doing all of the other requirements. Today, I had the pre-op class teaching me how to eat before and after the band, and have my surgery consult Monday. They told me to start the pre-surgery healthy eating diet tomorrow (shake for Breakfast, tiny lunch/dinner), then I'd start all shakes 2 weeks before surgery. OH, FWIW, My hubby works for Bridgestone, and he carries the insurance since I'm a stay at home mom. Thanks for listening. Twana
