finally after 6 months.....there could be one hiccup - h-pylori test done today. they said they are sending in the all the paperwork for insurance approval today, and that it's not pending the results of the h-pylori - however - if positive, surgery would be probably pushed from end of August to end of Sept....I am hoping i DO NOT get a phone call tomorrow when the lab work is back......

otherwise she said UHC was one of the better insurances to work with and we'd get something back within 7 days.... SO i won't call and bother the UHC people till next Wednesday!

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel......

Yeah. I have UHC and they are QUICK! You probably won't even need to call them at all. They sent me my letter within a few days of the doctor's office submitting it and I scanned a copy to the scheduler and I was scheduled.

UHC is awesome.

dang - couldn't take the wait anymore - just called True Results to see if they have the results from the h-pylori test....not yet - they should have it by tomorrow morning...

also called my bariatric nurse with UHC to ask if she got the paperwork, but i had to leave a message. I'm glad it's in her hands for approval, as I've talked to her several times and I feel that she sort of knows me...and its' not some total stranger looking over the paperwork to make a decision.
