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.

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 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.

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.

      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! 😞
