So every time my file has been submitted to insurance they always come back within 24 hrs and request more tests. This time it's been almost two weeks and haven't heard anything other than when I called and they say it's going through a medical review. What do you all think " no news is good news"? I'm getting very anxious because my surgery is scheduled for nov 18th and no approval yet. I have to be the most impatient person on the world :/

Well, Aetna Denied me. they said it's because of the 39 BMI. (this was taken 3 months ago )

i'm trying to appeal now. my current BMI is 41 and i got a letter that shows that i have asthma.

also i'm doing a sleep apnea study. i'm really mad at my ins coordinator.. she didn't mention the sleep apnea thing.

does anyone know if it's possible to change the BMI to my current one so i can win the appeal and get an approval ? :(

      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! 😞
