Wow not sure what happen there.. lol

Cybergirl, I'm so sorry to hear that. Now you have me even more worried. Who did they want u to register with. I was told I just had to see a dr or nutritionist for 6 mo. Or 2 visits a month for 3 months have a BMi over 40 and or have a medical issue and see a psychologist. I did the 3 mo twice a month. I lost a little but not much. There was no specific amount to lose. But it seems you only get partial info from these people. I did request it in writing which they sent me a few weeks ago. So far UHC has been good with all my test but one. The sleep test. But I can't send my paperwork in until I have my phych evaluation which isn't till May 27th. Keep Me in your prayers and I will do the same for u. Cybergirl, I'm so sorry to hear that. Now you have me even more worried. Who did they want u to register with.

Cybergirl I would appeal it. I think it might make all the difference.

Cybergirl do u have UHC mdipa federal? I'm so worried that they may deny me but I'm praying very hard that they approve me. Did u meet the crierias? I am at 42 BMi. Have u appealed their decision? I would. That's aweful. Don't give up. If u need it keep bugging them. Cybergirl do u have UHC mdipa federal? I'm so worried that they may deny me but I'm praying very hard that they approve me.

Yes I think he is a wonderful doctor. How was your visit with dr. Gandsas go? It was good. He is super quiet and just spoke about my option and the process. Then moved me on to the room with others that are getting surgery. I should be done all my weight loss homework by the end of this month. I hope to be approved by sometime in June "god willing". So when did you start and do u have to go 6 month b4 insurance will cover it?

So you have had the surgery?

I am so. Md. too. Surgery date is 4/14/14. How did your surgery go? How r u feeling? How much weight have you lost and how bad is the recovery?

How has weight loss been for those who have had surgery at AAMC with Dr Gandsas? And how was recovery?

Angie how did everything go. How has your weight loss been? I'm a patient of Dr gandsas and would love to get more info. Angie how did everything go. How has your weight loss been? I'm a patient of Dr gandsas and would love to get more info.

I am going to him now bit can't seem to find very many people who have had their surgery by Dr. Gandsas. He seems nice and has an impressive background.

I am in the dr visits process I am agem2b

Keep me in prayer that I get approved fast too.thank you for the update and congrats. . So excited for you!

I have plenty of leave to take so thank god that's the least of my worries. I haven't spoken to my supervisor yet about it since I want to wait for my approval.

Congrats! That's awesome. I hope my approval comes as fast as yours did. Good luck and keep us posted on your journey. I have UHC MDIPA. I hope they respond quickly.

I have United Health mdipa through the federal Government in MD. I was wondering if anyone who has this medical has had surgery. If you have, how much of that surgery did you have to pay?

I did call them but I didn't get my question answered. I thought they said all would be covered but. 150 a night for each stay at the hospital would be my out of pocket expense. It just doesn't seem right to me. I'm going to call again. Thanks

I'm hoping this will be a quick turnaround for me too. Thanks for all the responses.

I have federal UHC and I too was wonding how long the turnaround time takes to get approved for the surgery once the paper work is submitted for those of you who have that insurance I started the process 3 months ago through my dr and now i have to go 3 more months through the surgeon. Any information would be helpful.
