I'm am a 20 year old girl. I have been waiting to get this surgery for about a year now. I planed on having it in December or January while I was on school break but my insurance denied it. My surgeon put together a appeal for me, I have a lot of things wrong with me that would go away of I lost weight. I've been trying for years but I just can't lose it. So we put in the appeal right away and they are still deliberating. It has been so long and I feel like this is my only hope. I don't know what to do. Do you think they will approve it? My surgeon said she has never lost and appeal.

IDK but I wish you luck and hopefully the appeal will go through! Keep praying and think positively!

Sorry, I know you're anxious, but we have no way of knowing if they will approve or not. Why not call your insurance company and ask the status of your appeal? You can talk with them directly, you don't have to wait to hear from your surgeon's office.

We calls the insurance company ever week and they say they are still looking it over

Ask them their turnaround time for predetermination. The longest I've heard of is 30 business days. If they're past their turnaround time, you can put some pressure on them.

We are gonna call tomorrow. It has been about 6 or 7 weeks so far
