:smile2: Well, I heard from my insurance company on wed 4/23 and they denied my lap band that I was supposed to have done on Tues 4/29. Great timing. I have sent in an appeal and I have my insurance broker working on it. I hope to hear from her soon. I will keep you all informed on the final decision.

What insurance company do u have? What state are u in?

I know it is the most depressing thing to get denied. DONT GIVE UP!!!!

Thats what they want you to do.. You fight the good fight and you will WIN.... Praying for you...

Sorry about your news. Did the insurance co give you a reason(s) for the denial.

Hang in there and DO NOT give up! Praying for you!

Sending you prayers and Good Luck!!!!

Sorry!!!! That is terrible. Have you applied for Care credit? It's a loan, which isn't as good as getting covered but I got approved with less than perfect credit. Most WL surgeons accept it. And they approve you on line. Pretty good plan- no interest for the 1st year... I've decided to have it as a back up in case BCBS won't cover.
