Guest guest Posted August 18, 2000 Report Share Posted August 18, 2000 Hello! I have been hanging around here for a while but not posting much. Learning and observing! I am a registered nurse and live in Huntsville Al. I was turned down by my insurance for gasrtic bypass of any kind due to exclusion but now we have new insurance and I got Debbie to fax my letter to them now. I just called and they have it and will make a determination in 4-5 days according to the lady I spoke with. She said they do approve surgery for weight loss if medically necessary. I am 5'8 " and 355. My BMI is 52. I have HTN, depression, back pain, stress incontence and feel like I am certainly medically qualified to get this one approved. My concern is that they care gonna say it is out of service area and the only MD here that does lap does the roux n y and that was not what I wanted. Any suggestions as to how or what to do to convience them it is better that I go to NC than do this here and have a procedure I do not want. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
