I just received my surgery date today. It is scheduled for October 19. However, today I was told there might be a problem with insurance. They need 5 consecutive years of weights. I'm missing 2004 and 2006. They've asked me to find pictures from 2004 and 2006 to submit in lieu of an actual weigh in. Thing is they can go back 20 years and I've been obese the entire time. I guess United Health Care Insurance has strict rules and want the five consecutive weigh ins. Anyone else have this problem? Of course, I make sure I'm hardly ever in a photograph and if I am, I always make sure to place a kid, plant, big dog something in front of me. Find a pic with me so you can see my size will be difficult! I was told if I am denied, I have a good chance at an appeal. Just sounds like it could be put off for a few more months for a ridiculous reason! Thanks for letting me vent. :sneaky:
