United Healthcare Approved Me!

After a few weeks of waiting I am approved! I was told by Dr. Madan's office that my surgery will be in January. I am excited and nervous (of course) at the same time. There will be a lot for me to think about as January approaches. A change is coming...

Be BLESSED!

    Work it, Sheilamj1fan! I'm so happy for you! Good job on your weight loss, too - you are on the right track. Your little avatar picture reminds me of Toni Braxton for some reason.

    Thanks girl....buuutttt, I may not have it. I am just scared point blank. If I do decide on having it I will have to do the pre-opt diet.

    Sheila,

    I just got my call a few minutes ago from my doc, UHC approved me too! It seems to be moving really fast for me.

    I had my seminar on the 11/11, went to a support meeting on 11/13(required from my doc), and went to my first appointment with the doctor on 11/22. Due to the Holidays and horrible weather, they didn't even submit my paperwork to be approved until around the 1st of December, and they just got notification I was approved!!!!!!!

    I feel the same way as you, I'm totally excited, but really nervous and scared at the same time. But I think I'm more excited now than nervous!
