My paperwork also went in and I understand UHC has up to 15 business days to review and either approve or deny. I did everything they asked so hope its a fast approval for both of us!

Congratulations! That was fast!

I spoke to my surgery coordinator today and she's sure I'll be approved but I'll wait to Celebrate when UHC says OK! She did go ahead and schedule my pre-surgical screening for April 30, and she usually doesn't do this until they have the approval. Still crossing fingers...

You and I have same starting weight and goal weight so we'll have to stay in touch and cheer each other on!

My paperwork has been in for a week and when I called, they reminded me that they can take up to 15 business days. I can't schedule surgery without approval and every day drags by...

Does longer time increase the odds of a denial? I did everything they asked so thought it would be a quick slam dunk. Sigh

No, a longer time doesn't mean anything other than "the pre-cert department has a lot of work to do"

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
