Hi I Have United HealthCare Choice Plus in Texas! My Dr. Scheduled Surgery for Nxt Fri. Dec 21st, BUT I'm STILL waiting for an Approval from Insurance!! Dr said if I dont have an answer(by Surgery date), from Insurance they will have to Cancel Surgery! It was submitted on Nov. 30, Pending for 11 Days now! Ive been calling Everyday for an Update but said it can take up to 15 days! How can I get this expedited?! Anyone Approved LAST MIN?! I'm completely Stressed OUT! 😕 Thanks

Hey, when they submitted to UHC what was your Stat(BMI), and how many days til you got an approval?! If you dont mind me asking....Mine is still pending on Day 10(wkend included)! 😕 I'm Anxious Do you now if they count weekends or just business days? I'm super nervous, Dr scheduled me for Next Friday, but said if I dont get an answer by then surgery is cancelled! Thanks

Oh ok Thank... Did you do your surgery at the Southwest General Hospital? Also, Were you told you HAD to buy their Bariatric Advantage Kit at the Pre-Op Class?! Asking because I have preop tomrrw and was told that I Have* to buy the Bariatric Advantage Kit *($300) at the class or they will cancel/Reschedule surgery.... 😕 (I really dont have the extra funds due to the holidays) Ive seen a few ppl that have been through them, but they said they weren't forced to buy it....just asking! Did they give you a Binder for stomach, or do I need to buy one before?! Thanks!
