How much weight did you lose before you got approved again? Did anyone get denied for losing too much? Thanks

Hi Eileen, Yes, I did. I have 180 lbs to loose. Being on a supervised diet, I lost 40 lbs and I have been there for the last 6 months. Because of this they wanted me to use "Marida" to help add to the weight loss. This just gave me complications. I stopped taking it after 45 days. I have an appt with my PCS Tuesday to have them send a letter to my surgons office to submit them to the ins. I will let you know how hs goes. I will not get an answer for another 30 days.

Eileen, I'm very new here on this site. Did you say you had to loose a certain amount of wt. Before surgery? Also did you say you lost too much and now you are denied from having the surgery. Please set me right! I was told to loose 15 lbs before surgery and I'm having trouble doing that. From, bridge, in south jersey

Bridge. I was denied for NOT having done a 6 month diet... they didn't say how much to lose. I wrote that i'm afraid to lose too much and they get denied for that. I haven't met w/ my physician yet, so I haven't started my diet yet. My surgeon is still trying to appeal the denial for me. Hope this helps!
