Approved :-) Appeal Submitted Uhc



Recommended Posts

My surgeon office didn't fax all paperwork needed within 2week time frame and I got denied on Sept 4. I didn't cry...I wanted to because I have been seeing doctor since Nov! I even had to switch surgeons! So I am exhausted and want surgery by now. I just joined and started to write on forum about my frustration being denied and while I was typing my surgeons office called and said I was approved!! I'm ecstatic! But my appointment to get my date is not until October 4th! I'm going to start my liquid diet Monday and hopefully he will give me a sooner date!! I pray!!

Hang in there. The whole pre-op part is so difficult! All of it! Before you know it, you'll be being wheeled into the operating room!

October 4 is only 2 weeks away! You are right on schedule, since the liquid diet is suppose to be for 2 weeks pre-op... I am scheduled for October 1...my goal was to be scheduled by the end of September...so I am happy :) ... good luck to you!

Good luck to you as well!! I won't find out my surgery date until the 4th but hopefully if I am already on pre op he will not make me wait two more weeks... Wishful thinking!!

Congratulations! The waiting game is always so difficult. Your Re-birth Day will be here before you know it. I've been waiting since 1-1/2 yrs ago for Medicare to come through. I'll be recovering from a total knee replacement while you melt away. Take care Anders us know how you're coming along!

Thank you soo much! I was worried because I have UHC NJ Medicaid I thought it would be a tedious process getting insurance approval but thank God it really wasn't that bad!! But hang in there and keep appealing! Good Luck!

      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! 😞
