Congratulations!!! Do you mind me asking what their reason was for denial so many times? I have Aetna and expect to be denied because I didn't have a BMI over 35 for the past two years (because I was dieting those two years), but have 35+ BMI history going back as far as 8 years. I've got the co-morbids covered, though, and everything else. Anyway, I'm expecting to be denied and may have to go as far as external review as well if they won't consider my weights past two years.
