Hi Everyone I just got the call and you talking about crying and yelling I am so happy. Waiting on the schedule but the date was estimated Dec 1st. Unless someone cancels for November. Thanks for all the support

So hello everyone!! I posted yesterday about my surgeon submitting my info for approval. Well because I had seen pretvious post about how the offices had stated they sent them but haven't I thought I would call. Optum who has to approve me first before UHC tells me that they see the request for authorization but none of my clinicals. And they would tell me this after 5 so I can't call my surgeons office. They said I would have a approval in 2 days from the time it's sent so tomorrow would be the day. So would yall w ait until tomorrow to see if the rep just didn't know what she talking about or call the surgeons office first thing in the am. I am upset if she didn't send it because that's another 2 days I have to wait. I some reason believe the lady at the surgeon at the office....help me somebody!!!!

Yes thank you God

Yes!!!!

I will be in December just don't have a date yet hopefully Dec 1st

APPROVED

Ok so I just spoke with the insurance company they said it was sent. They said I have 2 day turn around so we will see on Monday. They said on the paperwork surgery date of Dec 1st. I sure hope so!!!! Thanks everyone

Thanks and you right but after the 2 days it's another 72 hr wait for medical review. My surgeon office is already full for November. I want to have it the earlier part of December so I will be able to enjoy Christmas with my children.

Hi Everyone!!! I have been stalking this group for months but made the decision to become a healthier me on October 8. I had my first visit with surgeon on October 15. I also completed all my pre required testing by October 26. Got a call from my surgeons office today and they sent my paperwork into insurance company which is UHC. So nervous ????????????but excited ????????hopefully I can get a date of December if I am approved. No I am going to say when I am APPROVED! !! So if anyone can help with my nerves I will appreciate it. And of course I have many questions going through my head but I won't burdened yall with that lol. Look forward to talking with my new friends on this journey ☺

Thanks again yall I was just notified that once Optum approve me then the send it to UHC then they have 1 to 3 days to medically review it by a doctor. So hopefully I will hear by Tuesday. But I will aggravate them until then lol

Thanks everyone I really feel like I have support and I can make it. I am having RNY
