I HAVE BC/BS AND I WAS DENIED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE MULTIPLE HEALTH PROBLEMS INCLUDING CVA IN OCTOBER 2001 AT AGE 48. THEY SAID THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS MEDICALLY NESSESSARY. MY PARTICULER PLAN SIMPLY DOES'T COVER ANYTHING TO DO WITH WEIGHT LOSS BECAUSE, WELL WHO KNOWS. I GUESS IF YOUR GROCERY STORE DOESN'T SELL POTATOES IT JUST DOES'T SELL THEM. WHAT GETS ME IS THAT I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT MY INSURANCE PLAN. THE STATE PLAN COVERS WLS AND I WORKED FOR THE STATE FOR 15 YEARS. I WORK FOR A PRIVATE HEALTHCARE CHAIN NOW AND THE OLAN THEY CHOSE FOR US HAS AN EXCLUSIONARY CLAUSE. LR

Lisa, I'm going through the same thing so I can feel your pain. I really honestly wish I had some advise for you. Have you thought about contacting a lawyer? I've heard of people taking that route. It's just so frustrating. I wish you the best of luck dear. Take care. Cindy
