I'm trying to help a friend with no insurance do some research but I haven't seen anything recent online about them. I haven't even gotten a response from my email to them yet.

Question for anyone familiar with united healthcare community plan in NJ. I wanted to know if I need a referral from PCP prior to just the surgeon consult appt. My appt scheduled for this week and I didn't even think about possibly needing a referral until just now. I tried calling uhc, but the customer service agent didn't even know what I was asking when I said bariatric surgeon. He kept saying geriatric surgeon. So I was just wondering if anyone else had any knowledge on this. Lavette

Thanks everyone! Lauri and Sherri, thank you for sharing some of your experiences. That's why we're here. I want to hear the good and the bad. There should never be a problem with saying who you would, or wouldn't recommend. It all factors in with helping others make informed decisions.

Hello! I just had my consult visit yesterday and I'm sooooo excited to be on this journey. I've been planning this for 10yrs! I just really wanted to wait until I was done having children. So now at 44 y/o and 6 kids....safe to say I'm done! So now its just focusing on all the surgical clearance appts and meeting my pre-op wt loss goal. Wishing you luck as well.
