Recommended Posts

Hey! I have UPMC bk my employer is in Pitt but I live in SC. I haven't been submitted yet to the insurance waiting in my psych eval but would be very interested to hear your experience and how long approval took.

I have UPMC but it is a different plan (EPO). I had no problems getting approval for my surgery back in 2013. A few days after the center sent the authorization I called UPMC and they told me I was already approved. It was painless. Good luck!

My final appt was Dec 28th and I asked my doctor about it. I told her I was nervous I'd be denied. She said she doesn't really ever see disapproval from upmc for you insurance as long as u meet all the requirements. They said I should hear something this week. Normally they get back fast but due to the holiday it is prolonged.

Hi Glitterpockets,

Just checking in to see if you were approved? I've been thinking about you since your last post. I was approved through United Health Care Community plan on the first try (I Switched from UPMC for you because my BMI and sleenapnea were really close to the lowest I could be). I am Sooo relieved. Hope al is well, and praying for an approval for you!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
