How many appeals do you get?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I've got a quick question about appeals. I've been denied by my insurance twice and I've already resubmitted for a 3rd time and am waiting. I meet all criteria so I'm hoping this 3rd time will be the charm. I keep thinking though eat if they deny me again? How many opportunities do I have to appeal them? I'm so heart broken by this whole process. Any info would be greatly appreciated

It depends on the company and why you were denied. If you were denied over something trivial that can be corrected then it may not be a problem. If you were denied because you don't meet the qualifications then you probably don't stand a chance. Check with them and find out.

I meet all qualifications. 51 bmi sever sleep apnea PCOS high bp. They keep denying me because of my past lap band fiasco in 2008. They keep requiring more and more info

      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.

      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!
