Topic: RE: Found Awesome Financing- EASY Approval
Totally understand we did everything not to file BK. I worked 2 jobs, and almost killed myself, none of the banks worked with me. Totally understand.
Ths is the only bank that approved me and I tried multiple locations.
Let them know I refferred you

Topic: RE: Found Awesome Financing- EASY Approval
Wish me luck! I don't have a bankruptcy but I do have a foreclosure. Or, one in a never ending process of being foreclosed on for 3 years now.
It totally sucks. My husband lost his job back then and I was in college making diddley squat. I tried so hard to get Bank of America to work with me but NOTHING. I will carry this stigma for the rest of my life, it seems!
thanks for this post. I just applied.

Topic: RE: employer NOT insurance co opted out to cover bariatric surgery
I admire your optimism! I am where you are now. I have been trying to have the sugery for 7 yrs and no luck with insurance coverage. I am going to file a claim on my own again and see what happens.. ive never appealed the deniel so I will go from there.
Dont let those ppl get you down! That is a skinny person views on WLS... odviously they have NEVER had a weight problem!
My insurance exclusion simply reads ...Surgical and non-sugical treatment of obesity.. nothing more. So I want to see if there is a loop hole in the policy.. I have a long fight on my hands. I have went as far as calling MDH employer and asking for a Rider, but they tell me they do not offer them? Which is a bunch of bull! They do not want to pay for it. all companys can chose what they want to cover and not cover.. its all cost.
I wish you luck in your journey!! Take Care :))

Topic: RE: Deeply depressed
Yes, I have to agree with the previous post. I am currently doing my 6 month "diet". It is not a succeed or fail "diet". I go, they weigh me in, they check my blood pressure, and then I listen to the nutritionist who talks to us (in a group setting) about a topic on nutrition. My last "diet" visit, she talked to us about how to read (and interpret) food labels. It was really very helpful. Last time, I had actually gained 4 pounds and the doctor did not say a word about it.
I firmly believe that the insurance companies make this requirement just to see who is willing to wait out the 6 months. A test of sorts.... if we stick with it then they think that we are more likely to stick with the lifestyle changes that we have to make after the surgery.

Topic: Aetna Open Choice PPO
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to OH and I have questions regarding insurance approval for VSG.
I had an appointment with my PCP yesterday (I got a physical) and I told her that I have been considering weight loss surgery for years and researching it and I am finally ready to have it done. She said I carry my weight well and I'm young so she would prefer to see me lose it without surgery. However, since I have tried and it has not worked, she recommended that I schedule an appointment with a bariatric surgeon at George Washington University hospital. She agreed with me that VSG is the best route and said she has several patients who have had weight loss surgery at GWU & she highly recommends them.
I have my first appointment with Dr. Lee at GWU on June 25th. I would like to know if any of you guys know what I should expect in terms of getting my insurance company to approve VSG. I have Aetna International Open Choice PPO.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
