  4. Dr. Ponce de Leon... very good experience.
  5. Just saw online pics of Wendy Williams and her huge slim down. Anyone here think she had surgery?
  6. Hello All, New here... thought about surgery off and on for a while now. I just assumed my insurance covered this. Well, I just got off the phone with United Health Care and they confirmed that I am not covered. I am a school psychologist with Atlanta Public Schools. I've seen numerous posts here from people who have been covered by UHC and am soooooo upset that mine doesn't cover it. Specifically, I have UHC Choice Plus and it's been great until now. The person I spoke with on the phone said they stopped covering it at the beginning of 2012. I pulled up my benefits page online to reconfirm. I guess the school system got tired of paying for these surgeries and that's why they pulled it from their contract/coverage. My only option now is to see what other insurance policies/companies are offered when we have our open enrollment period next month. Open enrollment is the only time during the year we are allowed to change insurance policies. Perhaps there will be another policy that covers it but I have a feeling that if the school system took it off of their UHC policies, they probably took it off all policies offered. I'm so upset.
