How long did it take for them to approve you? I've been waiting for 11 days I've heard people getting approved a lot sooner. I called today and they said it was still being looked over.

I'm curious with this too. I have UHC too and am hoping I don't have to wait that long. I'm not very patient. I still have one more month of my 6 month waiting period.

About a week for me. My doctors office had a lady that handled all the insurance stuff and she didn't mind calling them about it.

It took 7 days for me. My Dr. office originally stated they didn't receive a yes/no approval from UHC, so I called. I was approved and also had a chance to get full details of my coverage (i.e. hospital room type, coverage limitations, hospital copay).

My uhc case manager did state that she was out of the office when my paperwork came threw maybe that's the set back? Idk I'm not very patient either think I'm going to call tomorrow again and speak with my case manager. I hate the waiting game especially after doing all these different things in order to get it submitted. Ugh..

      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!
