Ginger Snaps 1,323 Posted May 5, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mimi1986 9 Posted May 6, 2014 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. 1 Drummergirl505 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtickle 295 Posted May 6, 2014 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. 1 Drummergirl505 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zelda205 30 Posted May 6, 2014 I started thinking about this in December. I went to a seminar the 11 February . Git an appoint with surgeon February 25, again March 24 and April 24. In between all thise 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
