Joy,
I am so sorry you had to go through this but, trust me I do understand both sides. I am still jumping through the new hoops they keep putting in front of me and have been denied twice. I just check the web site, print out the criteria, and make sure I have everything.
My insurance is quick to deny because they kind of use that as a tool to see who is serious about the procedure. Also, with all the high profile people that have had WLS and did not do the work they are giving it a really bad name.
Just keep pluggin away at it my dear and don't let them determine what kind of a person you are. Don't give them the power to make you feel bad about yourself. I know that you are a wonderfully supportive, caring, and beautiful lady.
