@"Ruby Woo" I sent you and email and sure lets stay in touch can not have enough friends or support through this process

@@395Ron I am having mine in Arizona at honor health bariatrics

I have tried the chocolate and the Peanut Butter one and they are pretty good not like candy bar good but settles on stomach ok and also makes me feel full they are thick though so make sure to chew really good

October the 7th for me

Ashlegal,

Where in Arizona are you from...I am from Tempe and having surgery with honor health bariatrics

My surgery is October 7th and very nervous

No you apply for them on their website then you will get a call from them confirming what you are trying to get and then they submit to Insurance and if your insurance approves it then they will send something to your doctor to sign and send back and the once your doctor does that they send your monthly shipments

Hello everyone,

Well Finally got approved and so did my husband but husband got approved about a week ago so his surgery is before mine which is ok. His is going to be september 23,2015 and Mine is going to be October 7th I am looking forward to Starting this new chapter in my life. We got approved on the first send in to insurance so not bad but did take a little over three weeks for mine to be approved so I was nervous the whole time and started bugging the insurance about two weeks in..... I bet they got annoyed lol I now have a little over a month to start peparing for surgery and make sure to start losing some weight before surgery. I am scared of having surgery because this is my first surgery ever and I am having my mom fly in from Louisiana so i will not be alone during because my husband goes back to work on the 6th of october and will not be there for my surgery due to not having anymore time off. I got insurenutrition.com to get my insurance to approve my premier Protein shakes , supplements and also some scar cream and I get a new shipment every month so I do not have to worry about running out because they send you 4 cases of Protein Shakes and each case has about 18 shakes in each case. and a month supply of chewable Vitamins. I know long post this time just needed to say what was on my mind and if anyone needs their insurance to pay for Protein shake and your Multi Vitamins then go to that site its easy and no I do not work for the site and do not get paid for promoting it. Just letting people know how they can save a little bit of money.

I got my insurance to cover mine by insure nutrition.com

I hope we all get approvals soon and scheduled quickly also... I am just nervous about having to come up with the copayment a and all before surgery

Thank you very much I am just anxiously waiting to hear back hopefully soon I have been getting ready though I got approved for my insurance to pay for my Protein Shakes scar cream and some supplements so that was good news now just for the insurance lol.... How is everyone doing on their journeys so far????

Thank you so much I am not sure how long it will take but getting this far is amazing because when we started they told us it could end up being 1 to 1.5 year before we even got surgery so 7 months from start to submitting to insurance we are lucky to be this far

As the title says my husband and I are at the stage where we turned in everything to be submitted to the insurance and should here something back in three weeks I hope we here something back sooner specially since insurance restarts the 30th of September... The coordinator says it will be close but I should be able to have it before then.... Anyone else have united healthcare have good experiences with their insurance approving faster than the three weeks

Hi everyone well Monday is going to be my last weigh in for my 6 months supervised diet then we are submitting to insurance so hopefully will have surgery in September before my deductibles restart.... I am nervous and scared all in one now that I am getting to the end of all the hoops I talked with my nurse this morning and she said she has no doubt I will get approved which helped with my nerves but you never know when it comes to the insurance companies... Did anyone with United healthcare have a problem getting approved quickly

Thank you for that I was a little confused but thought it needed to be close to each other

Hi my name is Brittany and I am currently doing my 6 months of supervised diets and am a little confused do the appointments have to be the same time each month or just at least once a month my coordinator never said.....

I do not have a set weight to lose but I want to lose 10% just in case

Hi my name is Brittany Eubanks and my husband and I will be having the gastric sleeve whenever we are done jumping through the medical requirements. We are just starting out but have our psychological evaluations tomorrow but most people are worried about them but I am not because I know just to be honest and myself and it will be ok..... I have a bmi of 66 I am 5'1" and have been overweight my whole life and am ready for a new start to a new life.... I know I just rambled on but I am excited and my husbands asleep so thank you for reading
