Insurance decision tomorrow

Tomorrow the decision will be made on the gasteic sleeve request. We submitted 10/10, regence bcbs of oregon waited 13 days to review and tell me the drs notes were specific enough of when the 6 month diet started, then surgeons office took a week to send the new information in. Anyway. I'm so nervous. I'm scared. I literally dont know what I'll do if I dont get approved. I cannot lose weight at all. I est under 20 grams of carbs a day for 5 years with no loss. Just stay the same. Please pray for an approval for me :)

It sucks because I know it's because my drs chart notes are literally terrible. She just scribbles them on lose papers. So I know it's her lack of information in her notes about the diet is the reasons

None of them are. This is so odd!!!
I'm still getting emails from all sorts of places?? Wanna post your email here and I will try the other direction? Sorry lol!
I was denied as well at first, because of incorrect doctor paperwork/notes. They resubmitted, and after 2 weeks I was approved. My program even has specific workers in charge of insurance submission! Don’t lose hope they’ll just file an appeal. I’ve been told that my insurance company is the worst for denial (A name found at the very beginning of the alphabet).

I have to have surgery before end of the year! 7-10 days for letter listing reasons, appeal takes up to 15 days. Then for insurance at surgeons office to hurry and file ththe appeal.
