So, I hope to hear soon. It has been about a week since I changed my mind from Lapband to Sleeve. I was previously approved for Lapband and already had my surgery date and kept reading about all the problems people had with Lapband and the having to have fills and unfills and hospital trips...etc....

So, I am so hoping that UHC will approve of Sleeve since it already approved my Lapband! AHHHHAHAHAH :P

Good Luck I have UHC too, and it was a pretty quik response, but I didn't switch. they seem to be pretty easy as long as you meet their requirements..

It shouldn't take them too, too long. I know they have up to 30 days to respond with any request for non-urgent procedures, but it they typically take two weeks. And as someone who is being revised from the band to a sleeve, I commend you on your decision! :D

      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! 😞
