I'm new to the post

Hi, I'm 18 years old and I have been trying to get gastric bypass surgery. But my insurance will not pay for it because the policy says i have to be 21. Has anyone out their have the same experince.And how are you getting your surgery covered? Any advise would be helpful Thank You, Melissa

Hi Melissa, You have to appeal. but Before you do that...you need to have both your surgeon and your primary care physician write appeal letters to the insurance co. But before you can do that...You may have to do a doctor supervised diet to demonstrate that you have tried to diet. Good Luck to you.

i just called  to see if my insurance covered it today and they said they have to if the surgery is  needed or some crap. im sorry u have to wait but im new here too and i hope the insurance company changes their mind
