Recommended Posts

I have united health care and I know they will pay for the surgery because it is preventative but i am concerned they wont pay for the tests that lead up to it I know they don't pay for normal labs except for the once a year bio-metric screening the y require to stay insured.

I have UHC and they paid for all my consults with True Results (6 month mandated visits) They also covered all my tests including EKG, sleep Study etc. They only thing I had to pay out of pocket for was my Psych Evaluation which was 250. They are also paying for my surgery. What plan do you have? I have known that depending on which plan UHC will cover a lot and then other times nothing but the surgery etc. Let us know how the consultation goes today! :D

I have u UHC through my husband company and they covered every thing including psych eval. I didn't have to have sleep study, but did the 6 months visits. I think my out of pocket portion co pay is $581 which I will use the flex spending account to cover!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
