Uhc Average Approval Times?



Recommended Posts

The insurance coordinator at Dr Kim's office told me that the clearance is good for one year. But that's my plan through UHC. My employer (a very large one) has specific rules tied to WLS.

Off topic but lovealways I remember u once talking about getting the Rny what happen w that I believe I seen you on that support group did u change your mind I'm curious cause it getting close to me getting sleeve

Hey :) Yes, I'm still supposed to be getting the RnY next month. I'm submitting to insurance this week but I worry, because I'm not sure I'll be cleared for surgery during pre-surgical testing because of elevated WBC so that's why I asked how long approval lasts in case mine gets pushed back. I use both this forum and RNYTALK. I love the people here and find both forums helpful. I originally was going for the sleeve but insurance will only cover RNY and lapband. When are you getting sleeved?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
