I was wondering if anyone has united Healthcare? I have just recently switched insurance to united healthcare and I'm wondering if they do cover the lapband. This is so important and I have successfully completed all requirements. Please let me know if you have any advice regarding this issue.

My work switched insurance companies from Anthem to UHC on January 1. The band is covered :) My advice is to stay on top of things with them. Almost all of my information transferred over, but they required predetermination and psych eval re submitted. What they told me is that the conversion is fairly simple as long as communication stays open. Good luck~

I have United Healthcare. I called them directly and found out that they do cover the lap band if I meet all requirements. I have only the $300 co pay. Just waiting for my Primary Care Physician to get authorization from Insurance (guess they didnt believe me.....lol) and then I am on the road to Bandland

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
