Hello I have UHC just got a call from my surgeons office asking for me to send them more info about weight history. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing. 10 mins later I got a call from a UHC surgical nurse, asking me if I wanted to take advantage of a program covered by my insurance for pre op patients. Have anyof you had this happen. And do you think I'm on my way to be approved??

My surgeons office sent over my paperwork to UHC on March 5 and yesterday I got a call from the office saying the ins company is looking for more weight documentation. I called the ins Company before I pay and obtain a yr from kidney doctors office because I had to loose weight before I had left kidney removed and we had weigh ins for months in 2011. The ins co says it doesn't say they are in need of any additional info. Maybe the office wants to be prepared in case? My surgeons office says they think we should be approved shortly.

So how many days was it total for you from the time it was sent until approval? Just curious because I think mime was sent on 3/11 and I talked to UHC today and they said that they had it.

We submitted to UHC on March 5. Submitted more supervised diets/ weigh ins yesterday at 1 pm and got the approval by 4 pm.. good luck! I'm sure you'll hear good news soon :) total of 9 days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
