BCBS told me yesterday that I was denied. I'll find out why in a few

days when my Dr. gets the letter. They wouldn't tell me over the

phone. I can't say I'm surprised, my BMI is 37.9, but my pcp and Dr.

Schmitt thought I had enough comorbidities (high blood pressure, high

cholesterol, fibromyalgia, and cerebral palsy, and very painful

joints).

I'll write more as I find out more. This will be a loonnngggg

weekend, that's for sure!

Don't get discouraged alot of people in these groups deal with this

denial process all the time and they appeal and win. They can help you to

structure everything like it needs to be for your appeal process. Hang tough

girl!
