What do I do now?? They denied me because I had to have a BMI over 40 for 5 years, and I've only had it 2 years. Should I file a grievance, or because I definitely don't qualify, should I just try to pay out of pocket? (I'm super poor so that won't happen!!)

I'm amazed how much it varies from one insurance company to another. I guess I'm lucky. Do they have an appear process that you can have your doctor write a letter for?
