Just getting started



Recommended Posts

I am now in the progress of just getting starting. I go next week to do my lab work and other tests. I have UHC and they said that it covers 100%. Though after I get my tests done, I have to go through insurance clearance. Do I still have a good chance at getting this ? Does it take a long time before you get an answer from them ??

They should cover it. But I guess it depends what plan you have. I have the hmo plan. I called myself to see how much they covered. You might want to call and verify with them. Good luck !! I don't know I'm still debating if I still want to get it. I just fear in what if something goes wrong and I won't have my insurance anymore, then how will I pay to have it removed. That is my worst fear......

Congratulations on the UHC paying 100% of your surgery. I too have UHC and a nurse at a hospital and mine wont pay for anything at all. I AM so jealous. But none the less happy for you all. Good luck with the entire process! Keep us posted!

I probably will call. I have HMO also and was told they cover 90/10; that max I will have to pay is $2000 out of pocket but they were still in talks with them.

That's awesome !! Good luck to you on your process. I went today to get my lab work done. I feel like I'm really starting to get the ball rolling. Once you start to get your tests completed you feel like you are really now in the process. I guess the quicker you get that done. The quicker paper work can be submitted to the insurance. I'll keep yaw posted.

:clap2: :clap2:

I have my appointment with the Surgeons Assistant and I was told I will have a psych evaluation. I'm super excited and anxious. Can anyone tell me what to expect at the seminar and evaluation?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
