Clopay Building Products UHC Rocks!



Recommended Posts

I work for a garage door manufacturer here in Ohio. I want to say that this company really cares about it's employees and how thankful I am to be where I'm at. Not only do they opt in for the bariatric surgery, but there were no 6 month diets or red tape. I met with my surgeon, met with the NUT and met with the psychologist. Submitted to insurance and 7 days later I got my approval letter! I have no Co morbidities just a bmi over 50. If anyone out here works for Clopay and has questions... I'm your go to girl:)

But I'm here for anyone that has questions :) I really want to be an advocate for bariatric surgery and take some of the hush hush away from the subject. So if there's anything anyone would like to add/ask... Please feel free! Here's to each one or our personal journeys!

I have UHC too. My insurance is through Lowe's. The only requirements I had were be over 18, bmi of 40+, bariatric center of excellence. No 6 month diet or psych evaluation. It took my surgeon's office two weeks to file it, but once they did I got my approval with in a week. I am scheduled on June 25th for surgery. My pre-op is June 19th.

      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.

      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!
