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!

      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.
