Hi Peeches,

I will be praying that you get your approval this time. I remember how up set you were when you got the first denial and wanted to appeal. I hope that the 4 month supervised diet will be enough to get you that approval.

thank you so much beautiful

 Hi, I see that your doctor is in NYC and that you have Emblem Health(same as me), I don't know if you also have BCBS for hospitalization as I do too. First, I wish you the very best of luck- I was just sleeved this past Valentines Day (paperwork submitted 1/17 or 1/18 and I was notified that I was approved on the morning of 1/20, so it was very fast. ) My BMI was 38 or 39 and I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and have had asthma(controlled) for about 20 years. I complied with lall required tests(cardio, gallbladder, labwork,pulmonary, sleep study) and appointments(psychologist and nutritionist), as well as the required 6 month weight monitoring by my primary doctor. I  also was  very nervous that I would be denied (wasn't obese enough and didn't have serious comorbidities) but I was approved. I'm sure that your surgeons office has experienced bariatric coordinators who know what to look for and how to present your documentation; basically I want to assure you that approval is not only possible but likely, and  wish you all the best. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

thank you so much and  congrats on your surgery if am approve hospitalization for me will be at lenox hill hospital

My fingers are crossed...good luck!

Good luck, I know you have been waiting for this a long time.
