Has anyone had experience with United health care?

I have united healthcare. I have a 6 month preup diet that I'm currently doing.

I've done that, I'm just waiting for it all to be submitted. I had my consult yesterday. Mine isn't really a prep-op first that I had to do it was just 6 months of physician supervised dieting within the last two years

I have UHC choice plus. I didn't have to do the 6month diet. Mine was submitted on the 03/10 and I had an approval by noon on 03/11. Surgery is next Monday. Fingers crossed that you get a fast approval too! :)

My packet was submitted on a Friday morning and I had a response by the next Monday evening! I just had MY RNY on the 29th of March. Hoping for a quick and easy approval!

My approval through UHC took 2 weeks. Surgery is scheduled for 4/14. Hope you get your approval soon!

If all of your Is are dotted and Ts are crossed, response time from UHC should be quick. If anything is out of place, though... (UHC Plus so no pre-op diet but took three months to approve because they kept needing more paperwork. Approval took less than two weeks from when the final paperwork was submitted.)

@vandernoordh I also have the 6 months within the past 2 years. Did you use Dr visits? Most all my visits talk about diet and weight loss. The nurse said I would be able to use those? Just curious how yours worked?

Mine took exactly the 2 weeks with UHC! Once that comes it will go fast though!

Crazyheart14 mine were specifically for weigh loss. The insurance coordinator at your surgeons office would be able to tell if the documentation by your PCP is sufficient for the 6 month requirement.

I went through the 6 mos requirements, had all my paperwork in order and once submitted it took exactly 2 wks. I'm in Maryland and surgery date is May 10th.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
