Ok, so you all know I have been calling UHC since Friday when Dr B sent in the paperwork.

I called at 5:25p today just to see if they got the paperwork and they did and the ALREADY APPROVED IT!!!:faint: :faint: :faint:

The guy on the line said they had it and it was approved for...7-16 thru 7-18

I dont know if that is the actual date of surgury. I assume that Dr B had to put a date on the form, but I didnt expect approval in ONE DARN DAY

OH MY GOD GUYS!!!!!!!!!

Although, I dont think that I will really really believe it until I get a call from Dr B's office with their official word!

BUT Oh MY:eek: :eek:

Awesome News JILL! I am so happy for you!!! CONGRATS!!!

Angie

I am so happy for you!!! We will be having our surgeries in the same month... YEAH Can't wait...

Yippppeeeeee! GOOD for you, Wavy! You did it!!!!! Here's to the PERFECT band date! (when you get it!)

Congrats...I too was approved in one day. I loved UHC. :eek: I guess they knew I really needed it. For the date at our office we give a dummy date...but some offices don't so it could be. Keep us posted!!!!

Jill's getting banded...Jill's getting banded. Let's have a party. :clap2:

Congratulations Jill! That's awesome news!

CONGRATS Jill!

It was the same way with me. Actually, I sent my paperwork to the Doctors ofc on Wedesday nite, over the internet thru his website portal and was approved the next day, Thursday. I ended up using a different surgeon and hospital. (another story)

If your policy covers MOS (Morbid Obesity Surgeries), they usually approve these surgeries toot sweet after they look up the Employer policies. If your policy does not cover MOS, then your out of luck. (I worked for UHC for quite while, I'm sure that helped me also. I knew who to get in touch with.) Each Employer has a different policy. They are not all the same.

Way to go for you. Happy Dance! Best Wishes.

Congrats! You

Congrats - you'll hear back from dr B's once they get the written approval.

Maybe it could be the dates they put on. I had my approval in Nov but waited until after the holidays to schedule my surgery. Let us know what you find out.

Congrats Jill! Have you heard back from Dr. B yet?

No date yet.. I am at work and and I am hoping they are gonna leave a voice mail on my cell soon. I cant check my voicemail at home

I bet it happens quick....Dr. B scheduled mine pretty quick since I had approval. You are in the final lap......it'll be soon!

Congratulations, that is wonderful. Best of luck to you, hope it's soon.

I called and left a message Monday and I told my boss Monday that I was approved. Now my boss is fretting me for a date and its getting me worked up. We are in the middle of a HUGE project and he has to go to the board to get resources and since I know I am approved, he is trying to work my absence in to the numbers.

PRESSURE! Bah!

All I want is a date, this bank will live with out me. How long till they called you back with a date????
