OMG!
Someone has got to help me! I've gotten all the way to getting my information submitted to the insurance company by my doctor, only to have my insurance company hit me with: "you have to have a documented history of failure to sustain weight loss with medically supervised dietary and conservative treatment for at least 3 years" stuff.
I had a stroke 3/2012 and prior to that I just didn't go to the doctor other than for an annual DOT physical required by my former employer. I didn't have/couldn't afford insurance at that time. Since the stroke, I had to see the doctor, physical therapist, and stroke counselor.
I asked what I thought were all the right questions of eligibility/requirements for WLS, been through the 6 months of eating modifications, medical/psychological testing and was just waiting for the approval so I could get my surgery date...then BAM!
I know there is someone else out there who has been through this with United Health Care or some other insurance company. I am so depressed and my body is killing me to get this weight off!
Please HELP!
