My center of excellence had my information for over 21 days and had many "glitches" in the way of it being submitted to insurance.

Others were in line in front of me, I had to do an additional month with the NUT because I only lost 4.5 pounds during the 6 months of visits, they went through a computer conversion etc, etc, etc.... I was in contact the with bariatric coordnator weekly because I had not heard anything about it being submitted to insurance. I spoke with the coordnator via email this morning and she stated she would ask transcriptioning to type up my letter today to be sent.

Well, only 3 hours after I received that email I got a phone call from my case manager at UHC that I was approved. Now all I need is to set a date! This has been a long frustrating process and I will be so excited to get my date!

Now, as long as it does not take my center of excellence an additional 21 days just to give me a date! lol...

Woo Hoo.... Finally see a light at the end of the tunnel!

Exciting moment, ha? I thought that I was going to cry when they called me, and my process went smoothly. I can imagine that you are beyond elated. Good luck to you! Congrats!

United Healthcare is outstanding, I cried when I got that call. I took another month for me to get a date, but it was well worth the wait. I'm currently 4 months post op

Good Luck

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
