OMG. I'm so sorry.
What insurance do you have ? Can you appeal it ?

Yes, I can appeal it, but I wonder how long it would take to hear back from them. It took 2 weeks for this.

I'm not sure. I don't even know what all goes into doing an appeal.
When you first talked to the insurance did they tell you WLS was covered? And did they give you a reason why you were denied?

Can you PM me and tell me exactly what the denial was or why they denied it and maybe I can assist you with the denial and appeal

Don't give up hope yet.  That is what appeals are for.  Keep your head up.  In the end, you will get it!  Think Positive and Best of Luck!
