HI, I am 28 and weight 225 right now...I am all done with testing and appointments...all i have to do now is meet with my dr on the 14th to schedule surgery and submit it to insurance. I am so nervous that they will deny it for some reason. I have done so much work to get here and now I am at the end of my first journey ready to start the next and all I can think is what if the insurance denies it??? I know that I can appeal, but that would suck....anyone else going through this?

Hi Nancy,

Yeah, You're right, it would suck big time!

I was denied several times and had to appeal. Fortunately the medical group I was with was bought out by another one which gave me the approval within three days.

I'll send positive thoughts and good wishes so you won't have to go through that. If you do, you can always come here for support. I sure did.

good luck, and let us know how things go. In the meantime, act as if you've already got that approval in your hand!
