So being the impatient women that I am I could not wait another moment and called UHC to ask about my paperwork that had been submitted just two days ago lol

She told me I was already approved!! I am so excited! Thank you Jesus!!

Now I am just waiting on a call from my Dr's office:)

Man things have really flown by!!

Hope all is well with everyone!!

Happy Losing!!

I am so glad that I am not the only impatient one haha I kept checking for my approval online and as soon as it turned to approved, I immediately emailed the coordinating nurse and she got right on it.

Happy for you and good luck with your journey!

I did the same thing, but it was late in the afternoon, so nothing happened yesterday. Rest assured that I will be on it first thing Monday morning!

My bariatric nurse told me to wait 14-30 days!! I would had gone mad! Haha

Sniff Sniff? I hope SOMEBODY approves of me soon! Waiting and waiting is the pits.?

Have you called your insurance company yourself? They were very nice and seemed even excited for me:)

Yeah I did check with Medicare, after bouncing me from Chicago to Nashville to Baltimore I got a minor peon who asked why I hadn't had it already cause they did promise to pay the sneaky Sons of Seabiscuit the Horse at program #1, why hadn't it been done? Well they didn't wanna, could be fancier about it but that's what it boils down to.
But my best revenge will be kicking their lying,words right back in their teeth, rising triumphant from the muck and mire they tried to push me down into,then claim the victory they deniedme and go forward into,a beautiful future. ?just you watch ME now!

I kept my team on their toes.. after every clearance I would call and ask if the results were in my chart and in their system. I made them sign a sheet with all my weigh ins Incase somehow it “disappeared” (because that’s how my luck works). After I had everything I needed I kept calling them asking if it was submitted and after it got submitted I will call every two days asking if it got approved lmaooo.. I know they’re happy as all hell to be done with me. But you just can’t sit back and leave things to chance. one week later I got the call and 3 days after that I was sitting with my surgeon scheduling my bypass.
