  1. All great advise, thank you all.
  2. Today was my 3rd Month of my 6 Month Diet and Exercise Requirement. I was down 3 pounds, not much but better then gaining. I can't wait until I'm done and can finally have the Surgery. I hope your all doing well. My Thoughts and Prayers Continue for you all.

    New here!

    I have UHC and have a 6 month diet and exercise program to complete. I was all set for Surgery Nov 30th when UHC came back denying surgery because I didn't have this requirement met. Speaking with them in Aug they said it wasn't required, frustrated but moved on. I just finished month 3 of 6 month program.all my other requirements are met. Good Luck.
  4. Thanks, I know it will and ill be all the stronger for it.

    Pre-Op supervised Diet?

    I have to do the same for my insurance, no way to dispute it, it's their mandatory requirement for coverage.

I have a little over 3 months left of my diet and exercise program and then my surgery will be scheduled, I can't wait for that day.

    APPROVED!

    Thank you, I was all scheduled for Surgery Nov 30th when UHC contacted my Surgeon and denied Surgery Approval because of this requirement, when we called UHC in Aug they said it wasn't required, so I just wanted to make sure that they weren't trying to scam me just to get more money. I will be out of pocket now because I now have to meet my deductible again, such is life. Good Luck and Best Wishes to you.

    Best of Luck to you.
  16. Thank you all, had my Gallbladder out in 1983 and started having issues with IBS about 10 years later. I hope my issues get better as well as all of yours too.
  17. Does anybody who had IBS with constipation prior to Surgery still experience symptoms since having the procedure? Just curious. My Gastro Doctor says perhaps my severe bouts will get better after surgery. I hope and pray they will. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
