Question:
Is there anyone who has had a revision that can help me with an appeal letter?

I had my original WLS in 1998 and am in need of a revision. I lost 125 pounds, but have gained 70 of it back. My doctor has agreed to this revision; however, BCBS has denied my first request. My BMI is 35.5, apparently not high enough. I do not want to have to gain more weight to truly be morbidly obese. I feel that my co-morbid conditions and prior history being morbidly obese should indicate the need for this new WLS. If anyone else has walked down this path, I would truly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!    — Cindy H. (posted on March 4, 2003)
