Any one with United Health Care insurance



Recommended Posts

Hi Royals. No not yet, I saw my surgeon yesterday gave me what I need to take to my primary. I need Dr. Clearance & physiologist clearance, EKG & labs. After this they submitted to insurance. Nervous because I don't have any sick time at work and I have so many Dr. Appointments. But more then half way. Thanks

I have UHC.... 6 months medically supervised diet is required. They only pay for 5 with a nutritionist. I am still trying to find out if they will pay for a TT after its over.

I have uhc and was so stressed about them approving before six months but they did. I did meet the qualifications for the bmi and two co-morbidities. It took exactly two weeks to come back with an approval and I am so relieved now I think the nervousness is beginning to settle in. My advice. Be patient but stay on time of your requirements and if you are working with a CEnter of Excellence you should be good otherwise. Best of luck. I've been stalking this forum for months and finally ready to share

I have united healthcare. It only required me to have a BMI of 40 or more (no co morbidity required). See the nutritionist & psychologist twice. No six month diet, no 5 year weight history. Once all paperwork was submitted, it look 10 days for a response. It was pretty easy & fast. It took about 6-8 weeks from start to surgery date.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
