UHC approved!! if.....



Recommended Posts

i can provide 6 months diet history and 5 yr weight history from my doc.

i got the 5 yr weight history from my doctor... but... i have a question. i was told that weight watchers counts as history... so i have 4 months of it. all my weigh ins are hand written in..... ummm what are ya'lls thoughts on just completing the weigh ins myself??? my aunt told me to do it! she had to tell "white lies" to get approved so she said go for it! i need some more opinons!!!!

Great! You give me hope! I too have UHC, and was told by them that is what I need as well....at least on one of the 5 calls I've made to them....each time I've called I've gotten a slightly different answer.

I also did WW and just got to the 25 wk mark, then no more entries....I wrote one in for the 26 week, just for good measure! LOL! Hope it's ok....I still did the program for a few more weeks, but i didn't pay for anymore of the meetings. Plus my doc can attest to my attempts as well, so I'm hoping I won't have problems getting approved....I have a BMI of 37, but HBP, and family history of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

I just started my pre-op testing today.

As for 'fudgin'' the numbers, I'd say go for it, but I'd be nervous about doing it for too many weeks.....but who am I to call the kettle black...I did it with one week.

      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.
