Question:
I am waitining on an approval from my insurance company, UnitedHealthcare Select,

to get a panniculectomy done. The only problem I have, is my work is changing insurance companys that will take affect on December1st, 2001. I am in a PANIC!!! I need to get this done. Everything is in the insurance hands right now. Does anyone out there have UnitedHeathcare Select with Missouri Consolidtaed Healthcare? ( A plan for state workers) How long did it take you to get approved? I need to have this surgery done before November 31st! My Gastric Bypass Surgery took only 4 days to get approved. I am just scared I wont be able to get this done. I need it badly! Thankds for any help! Valerie : )    — Valerie D. (posted on November 1, 2001)

I have united health care. I was denied a panniculectomy. I had surgery last april. I have lost 120lbs and need to have a tt but they denied. I am going to appeal.
