I had 2 types of svts that were not well controlled w meds - dealt w that for 20 years and had an ablation 3 years ago - it was absolutely life changing and worth it. Good luck with the weight loss and getting your heart issues fixed.
We already did an appeal. Because I'm 33 what i have wrong the insurance doesn't consider life threatening. Oh but at 35 years old I guess it is lol. Gotta love insurance. Only way they will do it before I'm 35 is if my heart muscle starts to become damaged or worse. It's ridiculous.
I was 32 when I had my ablation. Insurance paid for all of it.0 -
