Last appointment Wednesday!



Recommended Posts

So my last appointment is Wednesday @ 9am so hopefully we will be submitting to the insurance later that day!

Does anyone have UMR UnitedHealth Care insurance? If so how long did it take to approve? Did anyone call daily to ins to see about results?

I'm so ready for this, so excited and absolutely can't wait!!

@@beauty and the beast yes I had to see the nut for 6 months and an exercise person, done both each Nut visit. This last one is with the Nut and physical therapist I believe is what she is called. I'm hoping I'm approved and can do it in June before vaca or maybe shortly after vaca.

I just wanna be approved so bad, I'm ready to be the me I feel inside. My outside don't match how I feel

BetterMe....wondering which "flavor" of United Healthcare you have? I have Choice Plus, and the nurse on the phone said no waiting period?

Maybe since my BMI is so high (52) that's why they told me that...

Or maybe I am going to get a really crummy surprise when my surgeon's office starts communicating with United Healthcare.

I also have Choice Plus, and my BMI is 56, they told me that there was no specified amount of time for diet and exercise, but when my surgeons office called, they told them 6 months. So I gave them the number to my case manager, and they are going to call her and verify what is really right. I should know by the end of this week. I don't want to wait longer! I want this now!

I decided against getting a case manager for UHC but now might ask for one after all.....BC on the phone they told me no waiting, but they told my surgeon's office that I need 6 monthly visits, UGH. Why would they tell me NO wait over the phone then tell my surgeon something different????

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
