Now what do I do?? So depressed!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Well gang, my worst nightmare has come true. I just got a call and I

have been denied by my insurance company. I am so depressed as I sit

here in my office tears running down my face. They denied me because

they say that medical necessity was not proven and no eating disorder

was identified.

I am 52 years old, 5'6 338lbs, BMI 54, sleep apnea, GERD,Hiatal

Hernia,High Blood Pressure and Arthritis so bad in both knees and

back that there are days I can hardly walk. They had about 4lbs of

documentation and then have the balls to deny me saying no medical

necessity was proven. I am so angry and upset right now.

There is no way that I can afford this surgery on my own, so I dont

know what to do. At this point I would sell my body, if I thought

anyone would want it, just to have this surgery.

I will appeal but that will take time and I dont want to wait that

long. At the rate they take I may gain another 50lbs and then be

ineligible. I am so damm depressed.
