So my last appointment is Wednesday @ 9am so hopefully we will be submitting to the insurance later that day!

Does anyone have UMR UnitedHealth Care insurance? If so how long did it take to approve? Did anyone call daily to ins to see about results?

I'm so ready for this, so excited and absolutely can't wait!!

Good luck mine was last Thursday and I'm still waiting for them to submit the paperwork the insurance on the other hand told me once they do receive it it takes 3 to up to 5 days depending on the urgency code it comes with, i have United health care for military.

My surgery should be in july. Feeling nervous and excited. Did your united health care require you to see a nutrionist at all?

@@beauty and the beast yes I had to see the nut for 6 months and an exercise person, done both each Nut visit. This last one is with the Nut and physical therapist I believe is what she is called. I'm hoping I'm approved and can do it in June before vaca or maybe shortly after vaca.

I just wanna be approved so bad, I'm ready to be the me I feel inside. My outside don't match how I feel

BetterMe....wondering which "flavor" of United Healthcare you have? I have Choice Plus, and the nurse on the phone said no waiting period?

Maybe since my BMI is so high (52) that's why they told me that...

Or maybe I am going to get a really crummy surprise when my surgeon's office starts communicating with United Healthcare.

I also have Choice Plus, and my BMI is 56, they told me that there was no specified amount of time for diet and exercise, but when my surgeons office called, they told them 6 months. So I gave them the number to my case manager, and they are going to call her and verify what is really right. I should know by the end of this week. I don't want to wait longer! I want this now!

I decided against getting a case manager for UHC but now might ask for one after all.....BC on the phone they told me no waiting, but they told my surgeon's office that I need 6 monthly visits, UGH. Why would they tell me NO wait over the phone then tell my surgeon something different????
