Hi everyone. I called my insurance today and found out I was approved. I have United Healthcare, I did not have to do the 6 month supervised diet. I was so worried about that. They approved within 48 hours. The surgery is scheduled for Oct 7. I'm scared, nervous, worried and excited.

Awesome! October will be here before you know it!! You'll do great!

Thank you that's very appreciated.

Congratulations

Wow I have United health Care too , and I had to meet with the dietitian and diet for a year, they told me that is part of their requirements, I live in Michigan, but since I've started I now have Medicare as well it is my Primary Insurance now, and United Health Care is my Secondary insurance. I wonder why I had to do that for a full year and you didn't. anyway I finished with that in October, now they are doing a referral to my insurance company so I can go to the psych eval, then hopefully meet with a surgeon upon being given the OK from the psych Dr. then get a date set, I will be one happy camper when I get a date and I hope very very very soon !!!

Skmullins when did you get started with the whole process? and how long total did it take you to get approved???

What state did u get approved
