WOW! Really???? Did you let your Surgeon's office know? I would be hounding them to resend it.

I called the surgeon's office and spoke with the BC. She said that she faxed it to the patient advocates and they are the ones responsible for forwarding to the insurer! Is that too much beauracracy in one office or what? I will be calling the insurer again tomorrow!

I'm in the same boat with you all. This is the 7th working day that I have been waiting. I have anthem ins. Anyone have anthem with a low BMI 38? Would like to know your experience.

I must admit I have been calling them. What are they going to do tell me not to call anymore? :)

I have been calling and found out that it has been sent to the doctor for review. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing.

Good luck, I just got a deferral letter in the mail stating they can't make a decision yet because they have no medical history, pertinent diagnostics, or treatment/outcome....WTH?

Well I have just been denied. I am so upset, I didn't realize how much I had my hopes up. I have rushed myself to death getting every little thing that ins. needed. I have a bmi of 38, high cholesteral, moderate sleep apnea, fatty liver, joint pain.

I'm going to get in the bed and have a good cry!

Why were you denied?? Appeal that!! With the issues you have, there is no reason you should be denied. Talk with your surgeon too- any surgeon worth his salt will be able to help with the appeal process. I'm so sorry :-(

Alot of insurance companies deny you first with the hopes that you will give up. If i am denied i am going to appeal it. i suggest you do the same!

      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.
