Let your surgeon's office work their magic. They have been doing this for many, many patients and they know how to word things in your favor. They KNOW the insurance companies. I truly believe it will all work out for you.

I believe they can also do a peer-to-peer review, where your surgeon talks to your insurance company. Some insurances just do this, in hopes you will change your mind. I know how excited you are to get this ball rolling, but often we have to sit back and wait it out. Good luck with everything.

I was denied three times before I got approval. My husband was denied 4 times. The insurance company doesn't want to pay out right away. They're going to try to find every little reason to fight you. Ask your surgeon to do a peer-to-peer , write a letter describing how the way it affects you and keep pushing.

When I was getting the runaround from my insurance company I pushed through the we don't talk to the insurance barrier and refused to get off the phone until I could speak somebody who could give me actual information. It helped me find out exactly why they were denying me and what ways I could get around that. Don't give up you will make it eventually. It took me 18 months from start to finish and my husband 22 months. He gets sleeved on Wednesday and I will be 4 months out on the 5th.

      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! 😞
