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????

      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.
