  6. I am getting sleeved in two weeks and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on protein shakes. Every shake I have tried taste to sweet for my liking.
  7. I also have United Healthcare but for State employees I was approved in a week. Scheduled for a month later on 3/15. Congratulations!!!

  11. I have United Healthcare Signature Value. Took a week from the day they submitted. I also had the 6 month documented diet, psych evaluation and some other tests.

  13. Just remember that everyone is different. I also know a few have done a wls and they all have had different outcomes. I think for us being a part of a group like this we have so much support and I am so grateful for that. We are going to do awesome.

  22. Thank you. I think the nervousness is overshadowing my excitement. I know everything will be fine. I just want to get past the actual surgery part.

  24. I'll be praying that they approve you. Don't know why they wouldn't have.

  26. Just got my approval today. It took a week.
  27. Take a family picture. I even have a beautiful frame purchased for it already. It's been 4 years since I let anyone take a picture of me. That is the first thing I'm going to do.

  29. We are practically sleeve buddies. It doesn't feel real yet. When the nurse said "You're approved, let's schedule your surgery" I said What? Shut up. I don't think it's even fully hit me yet.

  31. I have UHC and was approved today, a week after it being submitted. Never had to talk to anyone from my insurance. When it was submitted my BMI was listed at 38 but has dropped to 35. I have sleep apnea.
  32. I got my insurance approval today, one week after being submitted and am scheduled for surgery on 3/15. I requested it to be scheduled out that far (which isn't really that far) so I can get everything in order with my job. I am freaking out a little bit.
