Approval - 5 yr Weight History - UHC



Recommended Posts

We've submitted all of my information to UHC for approval but of 1 of the years in my 5 yr weight history was below 40. When I called to check on the status (totally feel like I've been stalking them :) the Care Coordinator I spoke to said that it had been sent for review. Has anyone seen this before? If so, were you approved? I'm so ready to get to show on the road!!

I have UHC and it really depends on each individual plan. I didn't need to provide the 5 yr history but they still kept me hanging on for an approval. How long have they been reviewing it? I wouldn't worry, UHC is one of the better ones and they will come through with the approval the waiting is what sucks though. Good luck!

I'm not sure how long they have been reviewing but the Care Coordinator said to call Monday or Tuesday and it's taken everything I have to wait until tomorrow :)

I have uhc but didnt have to submit 5 yr weight history. Ive heard uhc is one of the better ins co to deal with. They accepted 6 mos of WW records as my 6 mos medically supervised diet. Try not to worry :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
