Denied

Hi. I got denied for the surgery this week....  I guess the insurance will not approve me because of my TSH levels are too high. I had hypothyriodism when I was younger 9-15 but have been fine since. Even through my pregnancy everything was fine. Right after I had my son I noticed things were changing and I didnt get to see a doctor till 8 months after. My TSH levels were high back in Dec. but my primary said that I was just "borderline" and that I would need to take medication, so I didnt. But now the insurance is saying its too risky and that I need to get my levels down before I can have the surgery. SO they started me on synthriod this week.. my family and I are already seeing a little bit of a difference. Hopefully I can get my levels back down and can get approved finally. Ive been on this journey for too long to give up now. Im just bummed... My mom got approved a few weeks ago and we were going to do ours at the same time, but now im going to have to wait. Was anyone else denied their 1st time and if you were how did you deal with it and how long did it take you to get approved?

Don't give up.............   hopefully everything will get back on track and the Insurance will approve you for Surgery.  I had my surgery 11/07 with Dr. Lara and was very comfortable with him and his staff. My weight loss has been slow, but it is getting there..   I wish you luck...   your little boy is a cutie!!
