  5. OK I'll add gas x to my list of things to get...good to know! the insurance confined the receipt of my case and it's open. Waiting for a person/case manager/determinor?? to be assigned to it. I wish we could see the status online somewhere instead of hounding ppl over the phone.
  6. I'm in Tampa, all set to have surgery on. 4/20
  7. Amen! Thanks for the tips! How bad was the gas? To get rid of it, is it meds, exercises, etc? I read that the gas was the most painful part after surgery. The incision pain I'm not too worried about. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain....but gas ugh, that's another animal. Do you mind if I add you? I might have to bug you and pick your brain when time comes LOL.
  8. I have UHC. Went to the surgeon last Friday to submit to my insurance and I want to make sure they have received it. Should I call the prior authorization line, the regular number or my Bariatric nurse? All 3? LOL
