I'm Approved - Uhc



Recommended Posts

Hey Folks,

I got my approval letter in the mail yesterday :banana :banana :banana

I cant believe it I'm on my way!!! Now all I have to do is calm down and wait for the doctors office to open so I can ask him what's next.

You all have been so supportive and I tell you I needed that since I've been waiting since Oct. Thank you, thank you , thank you.

Thanks Betty and Marie,

Tanya,

Congrats! Is your insurance paying for you surgery? Are you going to the Molding Clinic? Sorry to ask so many quesitons, just curious. I am very interested in the procedure. I am just trying to find out if they take insurance. I have UHC.

UHC is going to pay for the surger. I am not going to the Molding Clinic, I dont even know what that is. UHC did take a long time for approval. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Tanya,

how long did UHC take to approve? I called them yesterday, they told me it could take up to 30 days. I am trying to find a doctor in my area, that will accept me. Wish me luck!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
