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~!
