Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Hello all! I've been denied again. They said with a BMI less than 40, I'm don't show any evidence of " serious " comorbidities (I've got hypertension, cerebral palsy with severe joint pain, and fibromyalgia). Believe me I've sent everything I can think of, 2 letters from me, a letter and records from my doctors, information about cerebral palsy and aging from UCP, but BCBS doesn't seem to think it's serious enough. My BMI is 38, and I would need to gain 11 pounds to get up to a 40 BMI. So I may hang it up for now and I'm thinking about spending the first holiday season in years NOT on a diet. Has anyone reapplied after gaining a little bit more weight? I'm afraid that if it it " happens " that I gain weight over the holidays, BCBS (if they still cover wls in 2004) will give me a hard time about the weight gain or find some other hoop to make me jump through. I would never " purposefully " gain that much weight, but it always seems to be the natural progression of things to gain weight during the holidays <grin>. Has anyone else had to go through this? Congrats on all of the progress made here! Y'all are always an inspiration! W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
