I CALLED THE DOCTORS OFFICE TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY SUMMITTED MY PAPERWORK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. SO I CALLED TO CHECK WITH THE INS COMPANY WHICH IS UNITED HEALTH CARE SELECT PLUS PPO WITH THE CITY OF MEMPHIS. AND THEY SENT ME TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT HANDLE THE LAP BAND OR SURGS. AND SHE TOLD ME I WAS APPROVED AND THEY MAIL OUT THE LETTER TO ME AND THE DR OFFICE YESTURDAY. GO UHC FOR SUCH A FAST TURN OVER. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT ON THE MAIL MAN...... BUT I ALMOST CRYED I WAS SOOOOO HAPPY.

Congratulations!!

I'm going through the process of getting approved with UHC right now, and they've (so far) been very helpful and responsive!

Best wishes, and may the mailman be speedy!
