Yes you do... Your BMI is 50. They need to get their heads out of their butts.

They will be sending a letter the details. I will appeal their decision.

Sorry to hear this, some insurance only require bmi over 40 with no co-morbidities. Hope you get some clarity and answers soon.

BMI is over 50 - otherwise healthy.

sorry insurance denied you :angry:

you MUST appeal!!!! if they still deny you - i think you can still appeal one more time

just because you don't have an official "co-morbity" yet - having BMI over 50 is very unhealthy

the insurance company seems to want to wait til you are "officially" sicker, with a co-morbitity before they will help you :angry:

its so frustrating to you, upsetting

i think "all of us sleevers" are upset with the crazy insurance companies - the "trouble" that some have to deal with to be ok'd by ins.

its just their rules/requirements to be covered for WLS

you must stand up and fight for yourself - no one else will

good luck

wish you the best :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
