Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Cheryl, It is most likely a delay tactic. In the 10 months I have been on-line with this group I have never heard of anyone being denied (well in the end anyway). Dr. Thayer's office will work with you, and your insurance company to get you your approval. Hugs, Joni - Dr. Thayer 11/27/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Cheryl, It is sooo hard to be denied, rejected refused for this surgery. i know cause after 9 months of being processed inspected detected I was denied for surgery...but it lead to being accepted at another hospital, with a differant Dr. and procedure. 8 months later I had a sucessful surgery that was right for meand less invasive with a quicker healing time. But when I was denied it was the pits. It was hard for me to turn my attitude around and go for the gold but I did use the rejection time to design a pre-op plan that allowed me to prepare and condition my body for a positive experience too, so take a deep breath and use your allies. We are all here for you!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Cheryl, I'm so sorry you're going through this, BUT, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel! There are a bunch of people that often times need to fight for their approvals, and for many reasons as well. It often times works out for the best, unfortunately waiting sucks. GOOD THINGS happen to those who wait! Just keep fighting, let the office staff at NWH do their jobs, and they'll get you where you want to be. Please try and hang in there!!! I'm with you 100% of the way! Dawn Severely Depressed :*( Well today I was officially denied. No words can explain how I feel. I can't stop crying and I just don't want to believe it. @ Dr. Thayer's said the letter sounded like they did not understand obesity and it seemed more like a delay tactic.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Cheryl Just getting around to reading my mail and saw your distressing news. However, don't give up. If anyone can persuade the insurance company to approve you, it's Dr. Thayer's team. They have had wonderful success getting other denials turned around and should be able to help you. Hopefully, since I am so far behind in my mail, by the time you read this, you will have already been approved. Good luck and keep us posted.
