I am going through something similar , My paperwork was submitted on 8/16 and I just received a letter from the insurance company stating that they were unable to substantiate medical necessity for the surgery .. My BMI is 43.5 and I have sleep anea and pre diabetic ... Just more hurdles to jump through

My insurance company requested more paperwork because they the way my doctor's office submitted my 6 month diet was not the exact way they wanted it. They have a to have a particular sheet filled out of each month. They would not take any other form of paperwork. Maybe that is all your insurance will need...once they got that paperwork they approved me within a couple of hours! So fingers crossed for you!!!! Good Luck!

Well it was not an official denial , so I am still waiting ... what I did was provide my surgeon cord a copy of the letter and she immediately started to work on it , however have not heard back as of yet ..... Please wish me luck

I also received special paperwork from UHC - so at my 6th visit I made sure that I had signed that form and told the coordinator to use this form when they send it all in. I think they had a copy of the form already - but at least I knew that I had signed this one....all done and approved in 3 business days.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
