I was forgotten by the insurance coordinator at the surgeons office & then she lied to me about having sent paperwork. I called insurance and surgeons office quite a bit & didn't feel like it hurried up the process any. So frustrating when you are having health issues related to the weight issues! As a result I have to wait until 4/20 for surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also have United. I started in October last year with my first consultation and my surgery date is Apr 20. (a lot of that was working around my work schedule) With my plan all I needed to do was the consultation through Optum & psych evaluation. The eval took two months from scheduling to getting the results but that was due to the holidays. My best advice is that you stay in communication with them and keep checking on the progress. I have yet to meet my surgeon just because he is out of state and I will meet him at the pre-op consultation. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
