I posted this on the revisions board as well.

I contacted my secondary insurance yesterday (My primary does not cover WLS) regading my appeal. The Board of Trustees meeting is in 2 weeks. ~~This is the process for appeals through my secondary insurance company..... Appeals are reviewed Quarterly, at the Board of Trustees meetings~~

So, they have had the paperwork/appeal since June 6th (sent certified mail). Now, at least I have a date for the determination

 Jamie,

I really admire your tenacity.  I know you will get your DS one day.  You certainly deserve it for refusing to give up!

 2 weeks? That's a lot better than the 7 we were all thinking you'd have to wait. Keep your chin up and your thoughts positive.

WOW!  That is great news.... It is amazing sometimes what a difference 1 day makes!  I am keeping my fingers and my toes crossed for you and all those that are struggling with insurance woes....I wish they would figure out that it is going to cost waaaaayyyyyy more over a lifetime to keep us healthy if we don't receive the coverage for the surgery!  Maybe one day!
Good Luck!!!
