Clopay Building Products UHC Rocks!



Recommended Posts

I work for a garage door manufacturer here in Ohio. I want to say that this company really cares about it's employees and how thankful I am to be where I'm at. Not only do they opt in for the bariatric surgery, but there were no 6 month diets or red tape. I met with my surgeon, met with the NUT and met with the psychologist. Submitted to insurance and 7 days later I got my approval letter! I have no Co morbidities just a bmi over 50. If anyone out here works for Clopay and has questions... I'm your go to girl:)

But I'm here for anyone that has questions :) I really want to be an advocate for bariatric surgery and take some of the hush hush away from the subject. So if there's anything anyone would like to add/ask... Please feel free! Here's to each one or our personal journeys!

I have UHC too. My insurance is through Lowe's. The only requirements I had were be over 18, bmi of 40+, bariatric center of excellence. No 6 month diet or psych evaluation. It took my surgeon's office two weeks to file it, but once they did I got my approval with in a week. I am scheduled on June 25th for surgery. My pre-op is June 19th.

      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.
