Okay This is crazy so I got denied from BC/BS Alliance Select and they sent a letter saying it wasn't medically necessary I called the insurance company to get more details on why I was denied and the girl I talked to told me that my BMI wasn't documented on any of the papers that they recieved....Are you Freaking Kidding Me!?!?!?!?!?! It's on like every paper that was submitted to them on the PCP Papers on the 6 Month Diet Sheets (for EVERY month) and pretty much every other paper they got. I wonder if sometimes they just see people want to get Bariatric Surgery and they are like we'll just deny them.....ARGH so I called my Surgeon and had her circle and Highlight all the BMI's that were on the original sheet of paper that we sent them. This is so frustrating I know there are people out there in the same totally messed up situation. Let me here your F-ed up insurance stories so I won't feel like I'm david fighting goliath! Thanks Everyone!!!

Congrats on getting approved. That seems to be the hardest/longest part. You will be having surgery before you know it. Hope you get hold of someone on Tuesday and get that appt/date set.
