Grrrr, snarl, snap, growl, slash!!!!
I can't be too disappointed and I'm not that surprised.
I jumped through every blasted hoop for the insurance company only for them to tell me that yes, they do cover the VSG, but I have to have a 45% BMI and document that I have been at a 45% BMI for 5 (FIVE!!!!) YEARS!!!!!!! I could swear that I had documentation that this was changed, but cannot find it anywhere. I remember getting excited because I saw that it had changed. It's wierd because they will pay for some of their insured (Medicare I think) to get the DS, but they won't pay for the VSG
That's fine. I'm not going to quit. I am going to engage the services of the Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy firm. I am like a bulldog. Once I get my teeth firmly sunk into something, I don't let go until I get beat over the head with a very large stick, get a firehose turned on me, etc.
Has anyone else seen a similar requirement for BMI with their insurance companies?
Haha, they don't know just WHO they are messing with!
