Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce myself and and tell you my story. I am 37 years old, and have been slightly overweight, but physically active most of my life. I was diagnosed with lupus (mild) about ten years ago, have mild asthma, and have PCOS. For the last 6 years my weight has slowly creeped up to about 80 pounds more than when I got married, 13 years ago. My PCP has put me on Meridia, and the good part of phen phen. I was successful at losing some weight, but when I stopped taking them, I gained the weght back and then some. I started the band process last May. I've had my psych, passed, met with dr, nutritionist ect. I have been denied 2x once through appeals. Friday will be the 6th and Final dr. appt. for my 6 month supervised diet. I have lsot and gained the same 5 lbs during this 6 month process. Once I complete this appointnment doesn't my insurance have to cover me? I have BCBS of il PPO. According to their denial letter, I was just lacking in my completed 6 month- Which I will complete this Fri. Once again, Don't they Have to accept me once this is completed?
