yay! Congrats and good luck :thumbup:

CSinTX have you ever heard of unjury? they have a chicken soup mix that is clear and has tons of protein u just add it to warm water...and people say it is amazing...something different than just the shakes and it seems to be reasonably priced. i hope everything turns out ok with your mother in law.

yay! congrats to you :thumbup: that is so exciting! how long did it take for your insurance to approve you?

also csintx i have been meaning to say congrats to u!!!! how are you feeling?

i have been so frustrated lately with my insurance company they submitted all if my info on aug 19th and on the 23rd it went to the care cordination dept and is still under approval...it just feels like it is taking forever kinda getting a little discouraged so it has been submitted for 13 days now...and just wondering if it means that they don't want to approve it? also wondering if anyone that has uhc has had this same issue? and if the care coordinator has anything to do with helping this issue out in getting it worked out faster? any who sorry to go on this rant but it feels good to get it out.

i am still impatiently waiting :cursing: hoping to hear something soon! and hope it is good news.

oh man! but i am so glad to hear that it is all worked out :w00t:

hi i have united health care and they do want a 5 year history when u called and asked them did they tell you all of the requirements? mine is a 5 year history, a bmi of 35 with 2 or more co-morbid or 40 bmi with no co-morbids i would deff call and ask them and call your gyno and maybe explain how fast you need your records...i had to call and get some records from a diff doc office and they got them over within 2 days. i wish you the best of luck and hope it gets worked out. who is your employer i think it changes the rules with diff companies mine is uhc with the railroad.

this is for everyone....just curious if you are trying to get approval for surgery what insurance company are you going through?

hey everyone congrats to all! i am so happy to be here and to see that i am going through the same thing as everyone else. 1 question how do i get into this fabulous group? and then a million more questions to fallow :frown:

urgh! those insurance companies! i am so sorry to hear that i hope you can fight them hopefully you where in it long enough before they changed the rules they won't make you do 6 month program.
