My insurance just changed its policy from 6months Dr prescribed diet to 3 months!!!

Question!!!

I found out yesterday that Medical Mutual denied the surgery because our policy will only approve if I am more than twice my ideal body weight. THIS information was NOT relayed at the time the doctors office called Medical Mutual asking about coverage. Has this happened to many of you? I am going to appeal....but Medical Mutual did tell me on the phone yesterday that the psych and dietician appoint,ents would be covered because they had originally told the Dr. Office the wrong info. Any thoughts would truly be appreciated. Thank you all so much!!

I'm from Ohio too! Just I have no insurance and trying to find ways to pay for this surgery on my own! NOT easy at all! I wish the surgery cost what it does in Mexico!!

As for your family I would either

A) Let them know that you need this surgery to live, and you do not have the money to do this, at least not at the cost they charge in the state. Mexico is much cheaper, and just as good! However, if they have a problem with you going to Mexico, you would be more than happy to allow them to help pay for your surgery! Donations will be gladly accepted!

or

B) Pick the the one person who you would want to join you in Mexico and convience them that this would be a vacation of a life time! lol..

No really. They are probably upset because they are unfamiliar with Mexico's stats on the surgery. I think education would pay off (hopefully). I wish you the best of luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
