Nov. 12 for me.

Bakersfield,Calif here. I am getting banded on Nov. 12th. I am on day 2 of my Pre-Op Liqued only diet.

I have United Healthcare HRA Plus, thru GAP INC. and I was approved in 1 day. We submitted letter from surgeon, PCP, He stated I have High Blood Pressure and a few other Co- Mobitities. The Nutricionist, The Physc Evaluation. Also and I had to write a letter regarding my weight loss efforts for the past 5 years. I did my letter for 20 years actually. with weights for years and what I did to lose pounds.. with alot of emphisis on the past 5-7 years..... And they approved it in 1 day. My Dr was like WOW Amazing, So as of right now I am scheduled for surgery on Nov. 12th...:whoo: Kelly

Hi Chris, I too have UHC and would love a copy of your letter to read and reference for my approval. Thanks so Much, Kelly :help: url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wy19oVb/] [/url]

Hi Janet, I just got this message, wish I would have checked sooner, I would have gone to that meeting. I will call Mercy and see when thier next one is. I had to go to fill out paperwork for the my shrink appt on friday. I met Dr Irani at the seminar last week.

This was great reading, Thank you from a newbi, Kelly.

Hi, I'm new to Bakersfield ,Ca. area, I am seeing Dr. Naik next week. Does anyone know of a support group out in this area. Kelly

My surgeon charges $3500.00 up front from me , then turns around and bills out of network to the insurance and they hopefully send me something back, they say they pay 60% out of network billed.... Surgeon says if he bills in network he only ends up getting 700 back from them....... Kelly

Hi , I am new and just starting my process. I went to a seminar last week, had a consultation yesterday, this week I see do my Physc and go talk to my PCP. next week its another consultation with Dr Naik. I am new to Bakersfield and don't really know anyone out here, this board has been very informative. Kelly
