Thanks alot Mvpo

Thanks Myra, I will have to look around for my fiance's book of benefits. I have found all the numbers of the 6 places/doctors I need to contact so hopefully I can get the info back soon. Thanks for the support, I am indeed screaming in frustration too. I will read your post, thank you

I never went to see the surgeon but I went in to talk to the woman from the hospital where it is done, who sets the process up. They called to see if I was able to be covered by my insurance and they said I was excluded but I can send in paperwork from my doctors and their staff of nurses will see if it's medically necessary.

Hello, I have looked everywhere for an insurance appeal form. I was denied coverage for the Lapband and I am going to appeal it. I just don't know the right kind of page/form to send in with all of my records. I have tried obesityhelp.com and some other sites with no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you.

I always remembered something I heard a long time ago. "I may be fat but I can do something about that, you need to have plastic surgery to fix your face" always gets them.

Hello, I had my consultation on Friday and I was denied by my insurance. I have HUC POS plan. I have many problems caused by obesity and I called UHC to see what I can do. The woman I spoke to said I can send them a bunch of information about my problems so they can determine if it's medically necessary. So far I have about 5 different doctors I can get records from. Wish me luck, I am super depressed about this. When I found out I wasn't accepted and had no one who would finance for me I came home and cried while eating a cheeseburger lol. Thanks for the support, you guys are the best. :faint:

I have a BMI of 44.4 and my insurance (United Healthcare POS) denied me today. I contacted obesitylaw.com to help me.

I don't wear thongs anymore but I will when I get back down to size. I wear Lane Bryant Cheekies

I love Lane Bryant, If it weren't for them I would have nothing to wear. My sister used to work at one and always told me when they had sales and things like that :scared: There is one bra from there with the netted flower print that they discontinued :cry Oh well

How are you supposed to wear a pad if they don't let you wear any undies? When I had my tonsils out they told me to strip down and I still wore my undies in. I am a shy person

I like carrots and sweet potato baby food. The custard is pretty good too. Adding a little salt does help.

Congrats, I am happy for you I also have UHC (POS plan) I go in tomorrow for my first consultation and I really hope I am approved~!

I am on it now but not banded. I haven't noticed any real problems with it (yet) but then again I am on it almost a month now.

You could technically report her to your insurance. It could be considered discrimination for her comments and actions. There is such thing as people hating themselves and anyone like them (IE: Weight Problem, Race, Sex, Etc) I know with my insurance they told me if I have any problems with any doctor to call them.

Hi Virginia, Welcome to the boards. I have my first consultation tomorrow and I have found alot of good info on this site and now I have less questions to ask Goodluck to you and keep poking around here, there are alot of wonderful/helpful people here.
