Insurance Hell
Apr 16, 2008
It looks like my hope to have weight loss surgery has come to halt. I filled out all the application and received a letter back stating that my insurance has an exclusion it that it does not cover weight loss surgery. I went to see my PCP and he said definitely that he would back me in having this surgery and suggested I call the weight loss surgery center to see if there was anyway around the clause. However, I was told that there isn't anyway around it no matter what it would not cover it. Self pay is not an option for me we are barely making it as it is. So I guess I will just keep hoping for now and look for other alternatives to help with my weight loss journey.

I made the call today to start seeing if my insurance will pay for the lap-band surgery. I had to leave a message but hopefully she will call back tomorrow. They had an answering service that answered to I gave them my name and address and we will see what happens.
