Hi hope all is well with you and your family! I really appreciate the info you shared with me but, unfornately I don't have bariatric resources as a benefit on my plan. I just received a letter from my ins. company saying that if I wanted to send in any information that will assist my appeal I could do so. I'm thinking about writing a letter and sending in some pictures of me over the years.

Hi Mrspalmours I want to know what are my options on how to get an expedited appeal with a successful approval. I have UHC EPO and I live in Fl this is my story I have UHC EPO and I live in Fla. I was denied last week for wls. The reason was because they didn't have my BMI nor my 5 year history. I notified Dr. Jawad's office about this and they assured me that they sent everything over....

Hi Val I have done everything that is required of me to do 5 yrs history, physc eval, and I still wasa denied!!! I have UHC EPO to and I don't understand who dropped the ball and I'm confused is where and what to do now. I was confident that I was going to get approved on my 1st attempt but it didn't happend for me. I'm still going back and foward with my doctor's office and ins. company no answer

Hi vsg, I apologize for my absence. Lately I have been really depress and I don't know why and how to get myself out of this rut. I'm not losing the way I expected and it's tearing me up. I am reaching out to you for your help and support. I feel like I don't know what I have done to myself. Have anyone else felt this way? I have been working my program according to my dr guidelines. I just don't understand. Pleas Help!

I called today and confirmesd that they NOW have 5 yr weight history and they confirmed! They're closed tommorrow but I will be calling back on Monday, Tuesday Wednesday etc to confirmed. Thanx! Becca

Keep you guys posted!

OK. I'm back. I went to the ER because a had a fever over 102. After doctors ran test come to find out I had strep throat. Ouchy! I hate it. stayed in the ER for about 11 hours and try everything to void the iv. We all know that IV put on weight. Got a shot in the hip of penlicilin and low and behold a couple days later broke out with a rash. Dr says its a reaction from the shot. today I'm feeling almost back to normal. I'm down 22lbs. since the day of surgery (3-1-11). I can...

Overe the wekend I recvd weight documentations from years 2006 & 2007. My ins company has alreadt weight documentation for 2008 and 2009. Just found out that my 2010 weight documentation fax was recvd today so everything is moving along I just have to stay on top of surgeons office. I'm calling them everyday just to check the status and where we're at in the 3rd appeal process. I'm excited! I'll keep you guys updated!

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!! YOU GOTTA BELEIVE IT!

Pre-op appt went great. I'm down 16 lbs. since my surgery. I have no problem with my protein i'm getting down 70+ grams of protein in a day. I'mstill working on my fluids. Is that normal to be getting that much protein down in one day? The stapleswas removed and I'm super excited about that. I'm at a local spot using the computer the one at home seemed to not work as fast. I'll keep you guys updated. THanx!
