I am so upset right now. I was looking at October 14th as my surgery day. All I was waiting for was final approval from my insurance company. I received the call today saying that I was denied. My insurance company required 6 months of nutritional visits. Back in March, I gained 2 lbs but then steadily after that lost 19 lbs. But because of the 2 lbs that I had gained 6 months ago, they denied me. I wanted this so bad. I needed this so bad.

Same thing happened to me and because of it, they deemed it wasn't medically necessary and I'm going through the appeal process now. I'm sick to my stomach I don't know what to do!

Same here. I am now 4 months out from surgery.

I appealed twice. Denied twice.

I hired lindstrom obesity advocates in CA, and they had me approved in 3 weeks!!!

I have a question - has anyone heard of someone being denied because they lost too much weight? My BMI is right on the line. I have the band and want to go to a RNY. I'm just curious...

thanks!
