I am trying to figure out how no one has a June 16th date. I guess I'm riding solo lol!

My first dr visit was March 18th and my surgery is scheduled for June 9th. My surgeon requires 3 visits 1 month apart with him, 2 NUT appointments, a psych eval, clearance from a pulmonologist and cardiologist. I'm not sure how many of those are insurance requirements versus his requirements but so far it's been a smooth process. The insurance originally balked at paying the NUT appointments but we appealed and they paid.

My insurance is reviewing my file finally. I never thought I would get to this point. They say it will take 30 days but I really hope it doesn't take that long :/ I was really hopeing for June 9th or June 16th date but I am not sure thats going to happen if they take the full 30 days.

Mimi I would check with my insurance every week to see if I was approved.

My insurance is also reviewing my file Mimi! I am stressed that they will not approve me, but I am still excited to have gotten this far.

I see many people are scheduled for June 9th! I am set for June 10th- 5 weeks to go till I start my journey.

I called UHC everyday to check the status of my case. They didn't care, the reps told me to call me as much as I needed.

Oops I sent it before I was done.

Ok in between all those appointments I saw a psych doctor for two hrs with a 100+ questioner, Nutx3 along with his nurse practitioner . She gave me a card that I can give restaurant people to allow me half portions or order from kids menus .

On April 25 I got a date and the following Friday I got insurance approval. I was so happy to hear that. I have a Fitbit and I watch my steps. I would like to lose 10 more lbs before June 9th.

Scared, excited, looking at recipes , blogs and Pinterest to get ideas so I won't bored with eating!
