Finally good news!
Several weeks ago I get a call from the finance person and was told that insurance had denied the sleeve surgery. I was sad but tried not to worry. They sent an appeals letter addressing the surgery for sleeve since insurance said they would pay for removing the band, but not the sleeve procedure. I've been calling my insurance and the doc office weekly. My doctor's finance person called me back today from a msg I left him on Friday. He told me he called insurance that morning and was told IT WAS OVERTURNED! I'm APPROVED!!!! I was so happy I almost cried at work. I'm just waiting on the scheduler to call with the date and I'm set! Can't wait!!
Congrats!!
