Both the FDA (food and drug administration) & the NIH (national institute of health) state that diet and exercise and medically supervised diets don't work! In your appeal remind them that these are 2 MAJOR GOVERNMENT agencies that are stating this and they are putting you life/health in danger prolonging this. Here are 3 links I used in my appeal for Wellcare where they also denied for wanting a full year of a medically supervised diet. http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf/P000008b.pdf http://consensus.nih.gov/1992/1992WeightLossta010html.htm http://www.michigan.gov/cis/0,1607,7-154-10555_20594_20596-82522--,00.html Good luck!

I had BCN and was told the exact same thing about the waiting period. In the meantime I switched to BCBS and had my surgery 7 months ago. Had I waited for BCN, I would be having my surgery in a day or two... Unfortunately, I don't know of a loop hole. One good note,is that the results from the psych exam is good for a year.Good luck to you.
