    I am one week away from my surgery and my insurance denied me. Feeling a little hopeless and hating the fact that I'm mad and wondering if maybe God sees something I don't. I know it's silly..or maybe not, but I'm feeling like maybe I was too happy and focused on the surgery, that I was looking too \much to the surgery to change my life and not enough to God. This has been such a huge issue for me my whole life (my weight) I felt so super blessed that I was getting this opportunity and now I'm sitting here in tears feeling devastated and wondering why this is happening..I know all is according to his purpose and plan I just wish ..I wasn't feeling so angry at God...I'm super ashamed that I'm even feeling that way...probably the fact that I could even become angry at God for this plays a part in why it's happening..Please just pray for me...

    Hello, I'm hate that happened to you. I've been through a similar situation. I was disappointed and had the nerves to be a little upset with it God. But, you are right everything happens for a reason. Not now doesn't mean it's not going to happen. God works all things out for our good. I'll been trying for five years to get VSG. I'm not giving up and neither should you. Keep your faith. Sometimes you have to encourage yourself. I am even thinking about getting VSG in Mexico. It's affordable. I'm trying to save enough money to get it done this year. I know what you are going through. I'll keep you in my prayers. God will make a way. Start praising Him. in advance for making a way for you even. when it seems to be no way. God will make a way for you and me in Jesus name!

    We all have set backs and disappointments along the way. Even me... But all things work together for the good for those who love Him and are called according to his purpose. At this point, the best thing to do is to just ask God for direction and let him lead the path. I'm praying for you and very sorry that this has happened.

    I almost had a lap band five years ago. I was all ready to go and the man I was with decided to leave me. Since the money was his (he was going to pay for everything) I couldn't get it done. Now I believe it was a blessing from our Lord. I have seen many people (including my DR) that had the lap band and either had complications or gained their weight back. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know anyone that has had success with a lap band.
    Fast forward almost 5 years. I tried every diet imagineable again. And I would lose 30 pounds or so and gain it all back. I was determined to have the sleeve surgery done. I did my research on going to Mexico and scraped every dime I had and went by myself. Jesus was with me every step of the way. I prayed constantly and I also thanked him for all my blessings. I told him I would always love him no matter what happened and I trusted in his path for me. I did have some miracles happen along the way and I knew He wanted this for me. I had surgery 3/25/14 and as of today I have lost 52 pounds. I also had in my mind I could serve the Lord so much more if I could move around better and not be so tired all the time.
    I feel like a differnt person already and I am getting more involved with my church. I was already volunteering and now I have enough energy to do more.
    Now for some things that were harder-I went with Dr Almanza and surgery went well, however, Mexico is very different from the US. I was taken care of well and the hospital was exceptionally clean but you have to be prepared for being in a different country. The hospital is a little antiquated and Tijuana itself is not the most pleasant place to travel to. These really were small things when I look at the big picture.
    I know with your determination and Jesus at your side, you can do this!! Don't stop asking the Lord for a way to fund the surgery. Our Lord can make anything happen. As you know you only need the faith of a mustard seed to move a mountain.

    God Bless You,

    Thank you all for your responses and prayers..the insurance company claims they didnt get my psych release and that's the problem. My doctors are very thorough and aren't accepting that answer. They called them and resubmitted the request with expedited status. Still ashamed of my anger, however I have repented (before they knew the problem and resubmitted) and thankfully there is no Condemnation in Christ Jesus. My scripture of the day on my phone today was "What then, shall we say in response to these things. If God is for us who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 God is good ALL the time NO matter the situation. Thank you Lord

    In the scripture it says peace be still, this may not be the time for you to have surgery. Things happen in God's time not our own, keep praying and asking for guidance and he will lead you. You have nothing to be ashamed or discouraged about, just be prayerful!

    As I read your post and I gotten sad because I was in the same situation about 10 years ago. I continued to talk with my job insurance and they would tell me that due to my blue cross blue shield insurance they don't pay for the weight loss surgery. I was very upset with blue cross blue shield due to I really need help with this weight loss. I end up finding out that it wasn't my job insurance to have the surgery. It was my job that had a specific cause on it for cosmetic surgery and blue cross blue shield considered the weight loss as cosmetic surgery. It was a shame that I have been at this job for 14 years and I only been in the hospital only one time since I been at the job. BUT I continued to pray and ask God why I couldn't get the weight loss surgery. I just believe everything happened for a reason!!! I believe it wasn't my time to have the surgery. So through out the years I continued to pray and praise God. I was at work and one of my coworker told me about the Obama care and I should check it out and I did. My sweet Jesus everything worked out. When I tell you everything worked out it did and I have been approved from my new insurance and I will be going to see the surgeon 6/18/14 for a surgery date. I just trust God and believe him that EVERYTHING will work out on your behave!!!!

    I remember being disappointed and cried over the fact that my insurance denied me TWICE in the past 6 years. I wanted badly to have the LAP BAND as soon as I landed in this blessed country upon marriage to my US citizen spouse. Before I relocated to the states I have never heard of such a procedure to combat obesity. The second denial from the Insurance company came with a difficult criteria that required much patience on my end to fulfill. This was to get at least a 5 year medical record of my obesity and related complications from AMERICAN doctors and specialists.

    So, I had to WAIT!! A wait which was tedious , and throughout which, my health only went on a steep decline!!

    But there were advantages to the wait as well...it helped me become a more patient person, and meanwhile I learned about the sleeve and in fact my surgeon recommeded it strongly when we revised my options for Bariatric surgery during consultation.

    GOD HAS A PLAN!!! A PLAN FOR OUR GOOD....always you can bet on that!!! And no matter how rough the patch we may be going through...HIS plan prevails even though we may not see it at the time...I learned to trust Him...to yield to him completely through this experience.
