What's your bmi and comorbs? Do you have H M O or PPO? A lot will depend on those factors as well. I am currently appealing my surgery denial with UHC and I have an H M O. I wish you the best of luck! Keep us posted! :D

Good luck! I have UHC, the consumer driven plan. More like a PPO. I received my approval within two weeks of submission. Fingers crossed for you.

It is a crap shoot with UHC. I sailed right through approval as did my co-worker. My wife had to jump through hoops but finally did get approved 9 months later. The strange thing is she had great documentation and years documented tries at weight loss. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones. Worse case scenario, you play the game for a few months and re-submit. Good luck!

      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.
