Waits For Insurance Approval

Today the bariatric office called and told me, as they were reviewing my labs to submit to insurance company for surgery, THEY CONVIENIENTLY FORGOT TO TELL ME 6 MONTHS AGO that I would need a weight loss summary for a consecutive 2 months written and signed by a doctor!!!!?!!?!?!??!! Where the F$&* am I gonna come up with that in a couple week?!? My insurance ends in October!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theyre sorry?!? Wth do u mean sorry?!? I waisted 6 MONTHS for absolutely nothing!!!! I just wanna cry! No I'm almost positive the surgery will NEVER happen at this point.

My heart breaks for you . Do you have a family Dr that has seen you does he have records of your weight did you ever discuss Lapband with him or a diet plan Call him and make an appointment tell him your problem perhaps he can help.. My Dr and I jumped through more BCBS hooops then a circus dog but I got my band. Best of Luck . Please let us know what happens you have lots of folks pulling for you.....
