Insurance denied me :/
c_minta_1117 replied to gymbremom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am hopeful for you. If UHC continues to reject your request for surgery despite the fact that you meet the policy requirements for coverage, I recommend filing a complaint with your state's Department of Insurance. All of them have websites and online complaint filing.The DOI is very helpful to consumers (you!), construes policy language in favor of the insured person and requires a response and/or remedy from the insurance company within a fixed time frame. In fact, you don't really need to wait, you could file a complaint now. DOI complaints get insurance companies on their toes. They are state agencies that regulate insurance companies. -
I was sleeved on 4/8 and I feel utterly lousy. No real pain, just can't seem to get much down at all. Forget about Protein drinks, I just can't do it. Tried Isopure and watered down premier shakes. No go for either one. I struggled to finish a 16oz bottle of Water yesterday. Hoping to double that today as I'm sure dehydration feels even worse than how I'm feeling now. I just keep reminding myself that this is temporary and will pass. How are you doing?

Nausea on Pre-op diet
c_minta_1117 replied to Rommy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 2 of my preop diet and I agree, it doesn't feel great. Ive been drinking herbal tea and low sodium/low fat broth in between protein shakes (both are ok on my plan). The warm liquids seem to help. BTW, you're doing a great thing for yourself! Hope you get some relief! -

April Sleevers! Where are you at in your Journey?
c_minta_1117 replied to CandyCrushVSG's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm scheduled for April 8. I start my liquid diet on 3/25. I'm also doing a shake a day like CapeMom to get used to it. I'm having a hard time imagining just these shakes for two weeks!
