Okay so in 2013 I was going to get surgery through UHC and completed all the requirements, 6 month supervised diet, psych evaluation, meeting with the surgeon. Even had a surgery date. I was laid off and lost my insurance though and was not able to get the operation. Now in 2016 I have BCBS of Minnesota and I'm wondering will I have to do it all again? Any info about your experiences are greatly appreciated!!!

That's okay! Message me?

I actually had the same thing happen with the guy I wad seeing a few months ago. It was very difficult and actually broke us up

Hey there, I'm Quinn, 22 and getting sleeved in July and looking for a buddy to go through this with me! Any takers?

Anyone have surgery on the 15th? =)

Hey everyone! I'm Quinn and it looks like I will be sleeved on July 15th, just wanted to say hello!

Sadly my bariatric resources department informed me that the diet is required. UGH! What a let down! But, at least I know that six months from now I should be getting a surgery date!

Congratulations! I hope I'll be getting that call soon!

So since I've decided to get the surgery I have been STRESSING about having to do a six month diet. I know that a lot of people have to do it, for insurance and what not, but it was driving me crazy thinking that I might have to. It was also driving me crazy because I have no patience, so today I got the best news! My insurance doesn't require it so I'm hoping that I everything goes smoothly from here! Hoping and praying!!!

Last night was my first seminar and I'm even more excited than I was before (which I didn't think was possible). They're reviewing my insurance now to see what I need to do to qualify and I'm calling today to make my appointment to meet with the surgeon! =)

Thanks everyone! The hospital has payment plans and I'm contacting UHC tomorrow so hopefully that all works out!
