Prayers needed!

[joyaskins34 31]

I know I probably shouldn't be asking this but Anyone who is a believer& prays .. I need it ! Today I spoke with my surgery coordinator she submitted all my info for surgery approval and minutes later they denied!! Because they said I didn't meet qualifications from last 3 years bmi

She said she had no idea why they did this because that wasn't true I did! Also I have sleep apnea that requires Cpap ..they told her to mail in my paperwork and they would review it...she said if they deny again the surgeon would speak to medical director on my behalf..I need for then to approve this request this time..I so have my hopes up and want this so badly! I feel selfish for whining about this but I am so broken hearted and depressed! :...(

This is not a selfish request. You have a right to ask for prayers. If you've made the BMI over the last three years, and its documented, I would think the insurance co will be reconsidering your resubmitting of these documents to show proof. I can't imagine how you feel. Just hang in there and I'm sure it will all work out for the best. My prayers are with you and please keep me updated on the status of your approval. Good luck & God bless.

Prayers on the way. I was denied twice before my approval. Keep pushing, insurance companies would like you to give up and walk away. It will work out in the end. This is just a bump in the road.

I would look at it another way - you said your coordinator and surgeon will take care of things. Trust in their office because it sounds like the doc believes this is right for you. So keep the faith and let them do their jobs. In the meantime focus on eating right and exercise. Start making the life style changes now.

Oh and prayers will be said for you! I know it is hard and frustrating to hurry up and wait, but we have ALL been there!

Music I def am letting them do their jobs;-) I just was extremely disappointed.as far as the life style change I have been walking /running for the past 2 weeks and have lost 12 pounds...my problem is I have trouble keeping it off..however I already feel better & that is a great motivator in itself..I can't wait til the mornings for my walk&run...don't exactly love it while I'm doing it but afterwards I feel great...

Yes was denied yesterday again because my sleep apnea wasn't scored high enough even tho its moderate to severe..my bmi was not consistently 40 for 3 years( it was 38-40)

So this forum will no longer apply to me..I am devasted heartsick and just hurt .I just want to say thanks for all the sweet words and good luck to everyone!
