I am curious to see if there is anyone else here that is a TN state employee with UHC River Valley and what you needed to submit to be approved for the lap band. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks, Michelle

Thanks...it's nice knowing that someone else is from Chattanooga. Where did you have your LBT done at? I am thinking, once approved, of working with the Memorial program. I hear that they are pretty good pre and post surgery. Hope to talk more. Michelle

Hi...I am currently waiting approval from UHC-TN. I was told that a response usually comes in about 72 hours. A friend from work has the same insurance and was approved the 1st time for the gastric bypass. I am sorry to hear of your struggles to get approval. Definitely don't give up!!

Hi...I'm 30 (2 wks shy of 31), single, no children, and live in the Chattanooga, TN area. I am waiting for insurance approval, but since my insurance supports weightloss surgery I hope the "weight" isn't too long. I am so excited hearing everyone's success stories I would love to share mine someday.
