Pretty much EVERYONE is denied the first time but then your surgeon SHOULD write an appeal and explain all the health benefits to you by having this surgery. AND he/she should explain to the insurance company all the money they will have to fork over on health issues due to you NOT getting the surgery and getting healthy.
Really your surgeon is suppose to take care of this. Be patient and soon it will happen and it will all behind you. Best darn thing you can do for yourself... It will not be easy...YOU will have to make some life changes, but they are worth it!!!

Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass /lap band surgery / stomach stapling and gastrectomy have become very common and very safe now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.

If you could lose weight on the diet they put you on first, why wouldnt you rather do that instead of just jumping into surgery. Alot of times, unless its the benefits out weigh the risks, its used for an easy way out. I would rather go on a healthy diet then get life threatening surgery.

It will probably be denied initially, and you will have to appeal it, but you'll probably win on appeal if you do the 6 months of diet, and the rest.
