Just spoke with my bariatric nurse assigned to me from United Healthcare - she answered all my questions and I'm so glad i found this site, as it helped me ask the right questions. I was worried about my BMI which is currently at 41.1 and what would happen after the 6 months if it went under the 40 - nurse said that they use the starting BMI not the BMI prior to approval (which is after the 6 month dreaded wait). so I'm good there. now i just have to make sure that true results in richardson, tx assigns me to a different surgeon so that he and the hospital/surgery center is approved as IN NETWORK. I phoned TR before i got my call from the nurse, and asked about other surgeons they use - they gave me 2 other names and both of them and the hospital/surgery centers they use to perform the procedure are IN NETWORK....so I'm good to go on this journey.

I kept seeing posts here about being denied and such and was so concerned - but i have my checklist and a clear understanding of which surgeons to use - so I truly hope that I don't have any nightmares 5 more months down the road....August is when I should have my surgery...seems so far away..but i know it will be here before I know it.

I recognize that this journey and all the insurance hoops I have to jump through are solely MY responsibility - and I'll make sure I keep a log of everything.

looking forward to future success....
