Still waiting!

Well we heard back after a month on Tuesday and it was denied because my BMI wad 39.8 instead of 40. My nurse said she has never had an ins deny because of that especially since I also have asthma. She has already appealed it and is supposed to be talking to the medical director at the ins. I am trying to stay positive but am feeling discouraged.

I went ahead and submitted the paper work for the appeal process. I'm hoping I will hear something soon....all this waiting makes me feel like I'm in limbo.
