Good Luck and congrats! Mine is June 1 in Danville, PA. It was a long 6.5 month qualification process, but can't wait for my date. Not looking forward to two week liquid diet. My daughter's doctor only required 3 days. Oh, well, gotta do what ya gotta do. We'll all be on the loser's bench soon. Trisha

Many insurance companies will automatically deny to keep from having to pay. Get your letter, make sure you have everything complete, file your appeal. Then if it's denied again, there are attorneys that that's all they do is handle medical appeals. My daughter was denied but she met BMI requirement but not the comorbidity (blood pressure, etc) requirement. So it would have been hard for her to fight it. She just ended up going from NY to Houston to have it done. Luckily my insurance company has approved but I was ready to fight if they denied. Good luck. Don't give up. Trisha
