Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Hi all... I have posted in the past that I was working on seeing Dr Heap in Richland WA and then got a denial. I felt rather defeated but have taken the bull by the horns again and made some progress. I really felt my dr was not treating me properly. She's not treated anything, the pain in my back, my swollen ankles and feet, my high blood pressure...so I went to see Dr Banjanin here in Bellingham WA today. Besides talking about my situation being life threatening, he put me on high blood pressure meds, changed my anti depressant, had lab work done and will see me in 2 weeks. I feel like he's actively responding and taking good care of me. He's very supportive of the surgery and feels that I need to do something so he is writing a strong letter and we'll go step by step thru this. My insurance exclusion is for Obesity only which means I have a shot and the denial was written as if I just didnt provide enough information. So everyone keep your fingers crossed. I want this and I t! hink it will be life saving.....
