Hello all I got a call from my insurance company(UHC) that I am approved for VSG!!!! I can't believe after 2 mths of appointments and classes I was approved in 2 days!!!

The WLS cordinator told me that my surgery is schedueled for June 29th!!! I haven't confimed that with the clinic but that day works perfectly for me (everyone left early for the holiday weekend). I am so excited 2 more weeks of normal eating before I start my 2 weeks of liquid diet!!! I honestly can't wait to start that because then I know that the surgery date will come up fast.

WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!! :001_cool:

That's awesome. Congrats to you!

Yay! Congrats!

yea for you!!!! your new life is waiting for you

Yipeee! So happy for you. I bet that is a big weight (pun intended) off your shoulders!

Congrat''s.

Congrats! I have UHC too but they say my plan doesn't include Obesity services, did yours include or did you have to bypass that somehow?

My company as part of the policy purchased a very comprehensive WLS rider. I know that UHC has more than one because some people have to complete the 6mth diet. I did not have to complete the 6 mth diet.

I really hope that other insurance companies come around and decide to cover VSG soon.
