Hey everyone getting at the end of all my testing (pre op stuff for revision ) my doctors office is summit everything on th 5 th of october . I am just wondering how everybody eles insurance process went ? I have united health care ... But and story will help ... Starting to worry that after all this work I will not get approved

Hi Kris, I have Oxford Health Plan with United Health Care. When my doctor submitted all the paper work it all went well and I was approved within days. Good luck and let us know the outcome.

my approval process took about 6 weeks i have anthem BCBS. Good Luck!

Thank you guys . Just feel like I am going threw alot to get this . Did you guys have trouble with you band ? My band wad fine no eros. No slips just I myself only got 4 cc in a 6 year period . The 4 cc made me threw up all the time plus bad releux plus it was messing up my teeth per denist so my doctor wants it out . Plus I only lost 40 lbs in a 6 year period . Did u guys have to do a swallow test and a upper gi ? Are u guys happy with your sleeve?

I found out my band had slipped after i had and upper GI. Had my band to sleeve surgery on Aug.16th and I love my sleeve!!

I had no official slippage on my band or erosion or anything else. It just sucks and I haven't lost weight. I was denied revision. now trying to figure out what to do. BCBS.

Lots of people on this site go to Mexico. It's much cheaper. I've seen prices from $4500 to $7500. Dr. Alverez seems to be very popular. I have his book and he seems to know a lot.

Good luck to you.

I also have united health care. I was nervous because m requirement was a five year history of a bmi of 40 and I didnt have it but I gave them as much information as I could and I was approved in 3 days.

Did you have a revision or just the sleeve ashley ? I have united health care epo and I am a nervous rack about getting approved !

I'm just going for the sleeve, no revision. I have uhc choice plus ppo. I called everyday when I knew my paper work was submitted. I dont know if that gives them more of a push or what.

Thank you so much ashley !

And everybody else your for your input it helped so much
