So very nervous....my insurance is UHC and I just sent in my stuff to them...they have a month to approve or deny. My BMi is 37 with no comorbidities....nervous that they will deny me.

Crossing my fingers with you! I have UHC as well and they approved me right away. That was after they lost my paper work and I had to call them.. but once they found my paper work they approved it the next day. Good luck with everything.

Why do insurance companies always say they lose paperwork? can't they come up with a better one like their dog ate it?

Tropicana GOOD LUCK :)

Hey, best of luck...try not to worry, much easier said than done. I was a mess while waiting for approval. My BMI was 37 as well and I was approved in less than a week.

Keep us posted!

You guys have NO idea how much you have helped me get through this day!

I was expecting to open this thread and see comments like "NO ONE EVER gets approved with less than a 40 without comorbidities"

This gives me hope.

I have really prayed about this and will do more praying. i will get on my knees and ask God, "If this is YOur will and if this surgery will come out well , please let me have it. If not Lord, I understand"

If I don't get it I will just interpret it as a sign that I don't need it. At least not right now.

:D

i'm nervous nervous nervous

i Had/have a really high BMI.although of course its getting better! but i had no co-morbidities. I initially got denied then i appealled it,my dr's office helped with this,i also called my other dr's as well (OBGYN,PC etc) and had them fax over any tests etc they had done on me showing my weight was causing problems. I also wrote them a letter explaining that i was only 22 therefore i had no comorbidities and if i continued this way i defiinatly would soon and that i didnt want to wait until i had diabetes or high cholestrol to have this surgery. I found out in about a week they had approved me!=-) so keep in mind if you ever did get denied (*crossing fingers you wont*) there are plenty of ways to fight it and get what you want and/or need! A simple "no" isnt the end of your fight to have this sugery!Best of luck and let us know what happens

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
