To Nawlins Kat

My response yesterday about paying cash was an answer to a question posted by Ashley Fox. I answered it under her response and did not expect for it to pop up like it did. I'm sorry if my responce seemed to hit a sore spot yesterday. Like I said, I expected my answer to pop up under Ashley Fox's question. I am very fortunate that my husband and I were able to pay for my surgery, otherwise I would not have been able to ever have the surgery. I am a teacher and State of Louisiana insurance has a clause that excludes any type of bariatric procedures. Keep fighting, I've read tons of profiles on here where people were denied several times and then got approval. Again I apologize and wish you the best of luck with your fight with the insurance company. Jenifer Francis

It's ok Jenifer I'm just a bit touchy lately... but today I got my hope back... I found out last night this SAME insurance company actually denied my father's first application for his KIDNEY TRANSPLANT!! HOW they justify that one, I don't know... but after appealing and fighting them... my dad is now almost 4 years postop from his transplant Anyway, I will be appealing and probably with an attorney And for me, cash pay could only be an option if I can get my family or my in laws to help co-sign a loan Kat

hi kat, sorry about your insurance, maybe after appeal letter things will go thru. it would be so much better for insurance pay,because of future complications,(hopefully no complications). good luck, keep fighting.!!!!!!
