"The nurses here was the BEST part of the experience. The also had bigger room, beds, and gowns to accomodate all plus sized patients. "

"I met with Dr Brody back in April. He was REALLY nice and straight to the point. His staff was extremely helpful especially carlita. Unfortunately, I wasnt approved due to it not being a \"specific condition caused by a specific disease\" whatever that means so I requested a peer-to-peer. Im awaiting the results of that now. My HR person said to see if Dr. Brody can word it differently cause my job and my insurance DO cover it so Im in waiting mode at the moment. If denied again, which I have been 3 times now the other 2 were with carefirst, now Im with NCPPO, then I will try another Dr. Well, I moved to Dr. Fullum, and once again a denial due to it being an exclusion unless the obesity is caused by another disease NOT for weight loss. So SIGH Ive given up for the most part. rnrnrnUPDATE!!!! rnGot new insurance and already spoke with them and they cover the surgery!!! They also cover revisions and plastic surgery 18 months down the line. I go to Dr. Fullum tuesday to get my package together to give to the insurance people for approval. Wish me luck.rnrnUPDATE!!!rnFINALLY got things together. Im in the process of my 6month prestuff. Im already in my 4th month. Looking to have it either late march or late april. My insurance requires the 6month prestuff so Im well on my way"
