Affinity/eden San Leandro Region



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if any of you have United Healthcare and your Medical Group is Affinity Eden San Leandro? I am trying to figure out if I have to do a six month diet/weigh ins with my pcp? I have tried calling the medical group and asking them if its a requirement and I cannot get a straight answer. I have also called the UHC number on the back of my card and some of the reps are saying that it used to be a requirement and now its not and other reps are telling me to ask my medical group. I am soooooooo confused. Hoping someone has been approves through Affinity Eden. Sorry this is so long:)

I have UHC and what I was told about my policy is that dr made decision. Doc said its insurance call. So dizzy from all the conflicting info.

Every policy is different. Names and dates of who you talked to and also check current coverage document.

Yeah its sooooo hard to get a concrete answer. I just do not want to submit to ins. and be denied because I didnt have the 6 mos diet/weigh ins.

      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.
