Approved :-) Appeal Submitted Uhc



Recommended Posts

My surgeon office didn't fax all paperwork needed within 2week time frame and I got denied on Sept 4. I didn't cry...I wanted to because I have been seeing doctor since Nov! I even had to switch surgeons! So I am exhausted and want surgery by now. I just joined and started to write on forum about my frustration being denied and while I was typing my surgeons office called and said I was approved!! I'm ecstatic! But my appointment to get my date is not until October 4th! I'm going to start my liquid diet Monday and hopefully he will give me a sooner date!! I pray!!

Hang in there. The whole pre-op part is so difficult! All of it! Before you know it, you'll be being wheeled into the operating room!

October 4 is only 2 weeks away! You are right on schedule, since the liquid diet is suppose to be for 2 weeks pre-op... I am scheduled for October 1...my goal was to be scheduled by the end of September...so I am happy :) ... good luck to you!

Good luck to you as well!! I won't find out my surgery date until the 4th but hopefully if I am already on pre op he will not make me wait two more weeks... Wishful thinking!!

Congratulations! The waiting game is always so difficult. Your Re-birth Day will be here before you know it. I've been waiting since 1-1/2 yrs ago for Medicare to come through. I'll be recovering from a total knee replacement while you melt away. Take care Anders us know how you're coming along!

Thank you soo much! I was worried because I have UHC NJ Medicaid I thought it would be a tedious process getting insurance approval but thank God it really wasn't that bad!! But hang in there and keep appealing! Good Luck!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
