IDIOTS!!! > > in disgust, cindy lee > > > > > , Can he not get his PCP to help him by telling them that he has dieted for 52 weeks or more? Surely he has dieted in the last year(or more?) I know I was dieting from the day I realized my RNY was a failure to the day I decided that the DS was for me. The idiots are unreal in their reasoning. My biggest gripe was them telling me that the surgery that my PCP amd 3 bariatric surgeons said I needed was investigational and therefore not covered, but if Tom's then employer Delphi(which is a part of GM ) said it was OK then it would be OK.....explain how a manufacturer of Cadillac wiring harnesses knows more about my medical conditions and what is right for me than actual docs who had seen me and examined me! They also " offered: " me the RNY saying that if it didn't work the second time, that I could have it revised??!! Then they realized that they had paid for the RNY and said one per lifetime and no repair of surgical complications....So what did they do? THey looked back and tried to find evidence that they had paid for the VBG. I guess they were going to make me pay for the RNY....They didn't know that it was on my dad's insurance 20 yrs before.... I'm telling you the inmates are running the assylum! Mel(who thinks Bc/BS is evil) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
