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,

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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
