If I get approved quickly, my remainder for the year is $83. If it rolls into 2017, I plan on using my FSA (flexible spending accout) Visa that I have thru my employer that covers medical, vision and dental expenses. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ using the BariatricPal App

I didn't have that issue with my appointments. After my initial consult, my office scheduled all six of my supervised diet appts at once to ensure I was on the books. They were strict about making sure there were 30 Days or 4 weeks between each appt or it wouldn't be sufficient for United Healthcare. However there were no number of day requirments from the first appt. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ using the BariatricPal App

I'm surprised they did not keep her overnight. I haven't had my surgery yet, but most people were kept a day or two for observation.

That's great! Do you have any pointers for new sleevers? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ using the BariatricPal App

I spent more time filling out a bubble answer questionnaire than actually speaking with the Psychiatrist. She was friendly, asked about my background- including history with weight, failed weight loss attempts, did I understand the surgery and complications and did I have support at home.

I have United Healthcare PPO Choice Plus, a 6 month supervised diet was required. 6 months seems like a long time, but it actually goes by pretty fast. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ using the BariatricPal App
