Get on the phone with your surgeon's office, they will help with the appeal. Never let a roadblock or additional hoop from the insurance company get you down. Best of luck Gilda.

Awwwwwww so sorry i know you must be very frustrated and disappointed...BUT do not let it end here. They often deny the first or second time, just in hopes you will give up. Don't humor them. FIGHT for your right! Appeal and appeal. You will prevail! Worse come to worse if they continue to deny, there are attorneys that specialize in fighting insurance companies that deny wls. Hang in there and DO NOT let them win.. so so sorry they are being this way.

Lost 114 lbs. working on getting rid of a recent 10 lb regain...and WILL succeed!
I'm so sorry Gilda. That really stinks. I agree with the others, call your surgeon's office, and get ready to fight, fight, fight. I have seen sample appeal letters on the net and in WLS books. Do some research and if worse comes to worse, call one of those lawyers Patrece mentioned! We'll be rooting for you and praying for a good outcome.
