I am so happy and surprised right now! I just got a call from the surgeon's office to tell me I'm approved. I did not have the the doctor weight history and I didn't think they'd give me the green light. I put together a fairly compelling packet of information and letters for the insurance company and I also sent a copy to the claims advocacy department within my husbands company (I'm insured through him)

I would be happy to share what I did to help anyone else get approved.

That is great news! Congrats!

I'm being sleeved on Fri. using UHC insurance but I had to do a lot of hoop jumping to get here. I'm sure others will be very interested in what sorts of things you used to sway them in your favor!
