Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hello everyone! My name is Sera and I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I live in the northwest, I'm 29, I have 2 kids and I am married. I have been reading about WLS for a long while now. I jumped through all the right hoops and got a recommendation to go see a doctor for surgery, but now my insurance company sayes they don't cover it. Funny thing is, that before I began I talked to a lady at the insurance company and she said it was covered as long as I was refered to the specialist, (which I was). So I called again last night and the insurance company said, that it should be covered and to appeal it. I would greatly appreicate any advice y'all can give me on successful appeals. Any words of advice? pleeeeaaasssseeee Also I would like to thank the gastric bypass family founders and all those part of the family. I love the group and the website. Extremely helpful! thanks!
