My surgery coordinator submitted my information to UHC for approval last Thursday, she said she will call them on Thursday to find out what they have to say. I am so excited/nervous! I really really hope that UHC approves me!

I hope you get approved too. Maybe it won't take as long as you think.

Stay positive and know that it will happen. Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way.

I had UHC and they approved in a week! Did you have to go through Bariatric Resource Services? Good Luck, you'll love the sleeve!!!!!!!!!

I'm playing the waiting game with UHC too. It's driving me crazy!!! I thought my surgeons office had send all my stuff earlier last week so I called UHC today just to see how it was coming along and they said they didn't get it until the 26th. She also said it could take up to 14 days (although I've never had them take long to approve any other surgery anyone in my family has had) but I sure hope it doesn't take that long. I will be a complete basketcase if I have to sit around and wait that long!!!!

Wow, I'm sorry your waiting for your approval. My information was sent to UHC yesterday via fax and the case manager with Bariatric Resource Services called me within 3 hours of it being sent saying I was approved. I know what greatly helped speed up my process was that i called and got an 800 number for my surgeons office to "open a case" for me and then I got a fax number for them to submit it to. I also had been working with the case manager for 6 months making sure I was meeting all the requirements so she would have everything that was needed.

Good luck and I hope your hear soon!

I know how you feel! I too am waiting for UHC approval. I have never felt so crazy and obsessed as I do right now. I can not think of anything else. Feel like my whole life is on hold even though I know I should go on living and try to be productive. Just petrified of what will happen to me if I am not approved!
