Hello everyone! I am a confused newbie who has found herself here! In pursuit of a gastric bypass, I have recently completed my insurance company's required 6 month supervised diet, meeting all of the criteria for an "easy approval". I have a well qualified surgeon at a bariatric Center of Excellence in the Chicagoland area, but much to my surprise, I was disapproved within two days of my paperwork being submitted due to an error in the process. The situation was rectified and my paperwork was resubmitted 5 days later. That has been over a week ago, and I'm becoming a frantic mess! In the meanwhile, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and there are some aspects of gastric bypass surgery that I am not entirely comfortable with. To make a long story short, I would much likely prefer a vsg, but was told that it was not covered by my insurance company. I would even be willing to self pay for this procedure, but my question is, should a complication arise, what chance would I have for insurance coverage??? :crying:
