I know that I am not a regular here but I just wanted someone to share in my excitement.

After 2 denials, I have finally been approved for the Gastric Sleeve Surgery!!!!!!

I was about to give up and try to find another insurance provider after BCBS of GA was adamant about saying that this procedure was "INVESTIGATIONAL" although my BCBS Federal describes this procedure as an acceptable form of WLS.

I was so upset after my surgeon, Dr. Robert Richard, was unsuccessful in his one on one conference with the Insurance Doctor, I almost gave up.

I was on my mandatory Liquid Diet that I was mastering daily and feeling good about staying on it. That blew me out of the water and I threw up my hands and just said "I Give Up"

Well, thank God for someone praying for me because I am finally APPROVED!!

Now that I am approved, I am gonna need an angel. I am an out of state patient from MS! Thanks so much for allowing me to vent just a lil bit lol!!
