Ok, y'all......I called this morning, answered all their questions, and I now have a case ,manager named Rebecca. Calling the surgeon's office in about an hour once they open. Here I go!!! praying for this so hard!!

ok...here I go! I have an appt THIS MORNING at the bariatric hosp to provide all my paperwork and schedule the last 3 appts prior to approval. Wish me luck!

@@wannaBthinsoon Yay! Your getting closer!

@@wannaBthinsoon I'm waiting for the moment I can say "toldja so" you just let me know when that is ..k!

lol you got it! So far so good. Just hope this is the slow season since folks need to meet their OOP. I saw one lady leave upset because she needed to raise $5000 before they could schedule her surgery. Luckily I'm prepared with my OOP all saved and tied with a bow. lol

@@wannaBthinsoon Ouch! That would hurt!

IKR!! I'd be crying too! mine is $1,500. And luckily mine is saved and tied with a bow! lol

I have united healthcare also! I have to pay $5000... They don't cover surgeon fees..

wow. that stinks. I am pretty lucky my oop is as low as it is.

Ok, it's been a DAY and no one has followed up with me yet!! (sorry, just being stupid) Just tired of waiting, so I thought I'd just say something dumb. Have a great day everyone.

I'm here! How you doing? ????

Got my 1st surgeons appt on 1/26!!

That's so exciting!

Had my phone apt with UHC nurse Rebekah from Minnesota. Very nice lady. She said I met all criteria. Only thing left for me was to meet with the Dr, do a psych eval, and any labs the KC Bariatrics center required. She anticipated I would be sleeved in 2 months or less. YAY ME!!

Awesome!
