UHC approved!! if.....



Recommended Posts

i can provide 6 months diet history and 5 yr weight history from my doc.

i got the 5 yr weight history from my doctor... but... i have a question. i was told that weight watchers counts as history... so i have 4 months of it. all my weigh ins are hand written in..... ummm what are ya'lls thoughts on just completing the weigh ins myself??? my aunt told me to do it! she had to tell "white lies" to get approved so she said go for it! i need some more opinons!!!!

Great! You give me hope! I too have UHC, and was told by them that is what I need as well....at least on one of the 5 calls I've made to them....each time I've called I've gotten a slightly different answer.

I also did WW and just got to the 25 wk mark, then no more entries....I wrote one in for the 26 week, just for good measure! LOL! Hope it's ok....I still did the program for a few more weeks, but i didn't pay for anymore of the meetings. Plus my doc can attest to my attempts as well, so I'm hoping I won't have problems getting approved....I have a BMI of 37, but HBP, and family history of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

I just started my pre-op testing today.

As for 'fudgin'' the numbers, I'd say go for it, but I'd be nervous about doing it for too many weeks.....but who am I to call the kettle black...I did it with one week.

      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.

        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!
