Does anyone know the chance of getting denied for surgery after you have already completed all the necessary steps? I still have three months to go so I'm just wondering what happens after all the weigh-ins, endoscopy, etc. I don't want to be denied at the last minute. Any input would be great!

I had asked this question during my processes because I had to see my nutritionist for 7 months based on my insurance. The surgeon is very familiar with me insurance and told me they would not deny me at all as long as I did what I was supposed to. I'd suggest asking your doc, they will def know based on your ins.

@Jessie_5

sorry, don't know a percentage of people who were denied

Never give up if you are denied

There is an APPEAL process

from the board i've seen on occasion,

some ppl were denied 2 or 3 times before approval

persistence , determination, patience is name of game

all adds up to success!!

Buttttt - don't look for trouble

hopefully all will go well

the more health problems the better!!

sounds crazy, but it's true for approval!!

fingers crossed for quick approval

good luck bud

If you're denied, always appeal. Insurance companies rely on people that don't push back. I was denied in Nov, appealed and was approved.

I'm praying that I don't get denied....but if I do I'll know what I have to do next!! Thank you guys for all the info!
