I am starting the process and have UHC insurance. I have to do the six month supervised diet. My question is this... I did a program through a weight loss clinic from June to Dec of last year. I have documentation on paper from them, but the clinic is no longer in business...do y'all think the insurance company will accept it, or will I probably have to do the six months over?

Mine wouldn't accept it. Even with documentation. It sucked! But I know it'll be worth it. 1 month down, 5 more to go!

I have UHC too. They did not accept mine either. Two months down, four to go!

So they required you to start the 6 months after you submitted the approval paperwork? Does your 6 months have to be with the surgeon? Obviously using my PCP is more affordable.

It doesn't have to be. My surgeon actually asked me if I would rather work with them or my PCP.

I'm still waiting to find it if UHC is going to accept my previous weight loss appointments with my PCP. Thursday will be my two week mark since submitting it. Hoping to hear something back soon.

Call them. Usually if reminded they'll do it that day!

When I called them they told me they would notify the surgeons office and I would be fining out from them not UHC. They were rude the day I called them. I've ready received a call from the nurse line regarding my "up coming surgery" so I'm assuming it is approved.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
