Thank you, I have researched and studied this surgery since 2011 and started back then going to NUT visits then stopped because the hospital and my insurance then contract ended and I was not able to change my insurance plan at that time. I feel I am ready emotionally, mentally and physically I am tired of being FAT and the diagnoses of Type 1 diabetes of my 8 year old has me ready for this.... Thank you again Linda frm FL

So I got a call from the Hospital telling me that they are finally going to submit my papers to the insurance company. Well about time.... Kinda, because now I am feeling Anxious and Scared and Nervous and Terrified. I have placed all of this, my concerns and everything into God's hands because I know and understand that I can not handle this by myself. Long story short, Things just don't fall in place for me and this seems to be falling in place the way it is suppose to without the fight and struggle I am use to so to me it seems to be a set up for disaster... this is why I am so concerned and scared.... Sorry for venting my family do not seem interested right now...

Hello, I am new and I decided not to share my story until I had finished my 6 month journey and I am a wreck because I don't know what is going on with my papers, I am assuming they have been submitted but I am unsure because the one who does it have not returned my calls and no one else in the office "knows" on top of my finishing 12/2/13 and it is 1/6/14 and still no decision have been made and if so I have not received a phone call or a letter from anyone and the program cord. said if you get denied the appeal process is very long ( she said it in a way that it is not even worth trying to appeal) So my question is with Medicaid how long is the denial process? I am not looking forward to being denied, I just want to be prepared..

I called today and the hospital received my psych eval and who knows when they will submit my papers, the receptionist kind of rushed me off the phone and i have literally no more energy in dealing with them. So i took the answer and hung up.... Dealing with them makes it hard to stay positive

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement I am filled with worry and I seem like I have talked a hole in everyones mind who is supporting me while I go through this journey, On top of everything classes began soon and I was hoping this part was taken care of before I have more of a pile to deal with.... I think I am going to wait until 9:30 to call thia place and hopefully I get somewhere today

Thank you, I am still beyond frustrated with them, I dont like to feel like I am bothering people and when I deal with people like that I tend to be snappy and my evil attitude pops out. Lol.

Sry for the many typos I am frustrated and tired, but cannot sleep, and typing from my phone.This has just seemed to be the longest wait in the world...

So I finished my 6 months of a supervised diet Dec 2, and the only thing i was waiting on was my mental eval. I had so much trouble getting a psych to cover bother mental evals for bariatrics plus medicaid. Anywho I found one and saw him the 11/19 he cleared me 12/19 and that was because I harassed them twice a week. Well psychologist sent my papers on last Monda, i called today to see what is going on and surgeons office claimed the never got it, so i called and had it sent out again and guess what they claim they still have not gotten it. So I will call again tomorrow to see if they have gotten it. This has truly frustrated me to the max today because my papers could have been submitted, this has turned into a long drawn out wait and i must say i do not like or appreciate this treatment. Has anyone had experiences like the one i am forced to deal with? ? The surgeons and the nurses are wonderful its the front staff / the ones answering the phones, they are like 15 year old girls with no type of responsibilities what so ever ugggghh Sry needed to vent a little.

Thanks for the help. I am going to call tomorrow to see when they are going to submit to the insurance

My surgeons office is going to submit my info to UHC either Monday or Tuesday. I am very nervous and excited and scared and every other emotion all at once. I have UHC through MD Medicaid and my question is through 6months of NUT visits and mental eval and 4 yrs of weight history. With all that how fast did you guys get an approval
