What insurance did you have when approved for DS

I have Medical Mutual of Ohio, but I'm using Dr. Kemmeter in Michigan.  Cofinity has an agreement with MMO, so anyone in the Cofinity network, is in-network for me.

I had to jump through a LOT of hoops though!  Started this process over a year and a half ago.

BCBS of North Carolina.  Approved right away because my BMI was over 50.

AARP/United Health Care Medicare Complete  and Medicaid  (I'm on disability)

$25.00 out of pocket for surgery. 

BMI 66-something on surgery day - co-morbidities, hypertension (HBP),  sleep apnea.

Co-Morbidities - resolved.

TO ANYONE THAT MAY HAVE INFORMATION DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS APPROVED IN MARCH OF 2012 FOR DS SURGERY, I HAD A PRIOR RNY WITH A DISTAL BYPASS, I WENT IN FOR SURGERY TO GET MY DS BUT MY DOCTOR ONLY DID THE FIRST PART OF MY DS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS TO MUCH SURGERY AT ONCE, SO HE WANTED TO WAIT 6-8 MONTHS AFTER TO DO THE SECOND STAGE OF THE DS, NOW THE INSURANCE IS DENYING THE PROCEDURE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY STATE THAT I HAVE TO WAIT 2 YEARS AFTER I HAD WLS  TO SEE IF ITS MED NECESSITY , ANYONE WITH ANY INFO THAT MAY HELP PLEASE POST
