I have been approved for surgery with Dr. Houston in Nashville Tn. My pre opt and upper GI is February 28, 2011. My surgery is March 15, 2011. I am looking for surgery buddy in Georgia who might be have same surgeon, have surgery close to same time, and who might want to car pull when it come time to check ups every 3 months to share cost of the travel expenses. Thanks in advance and good luck with your surgery.

Thanks for the information. I just started the process through UHC (SHBP also) and I was NEVER told that the group leader had to be an RN or dietician (the form does ask for the leader's credentials, but doesn't say anywhere what credentials are required). Neither the RN case manager nor the SHBP patient advocate mentioned that the leader has to have certain credentials.
Thankfully, the leader of the first group I attended is an RN; I guess I'll continue going to that group each month (even though there is one only 2 miles away from my house - I'm not taking any chances).
I really am sorry that they are just springing this on you now. I have had so many problems with UHC (outside of looking into WLS) in the past year - one of my providers has encouraged me to go to my benefits department and complain as the Dept of Community Health will be putting the contracts up for insurance companies soon.
Good luck,
Cathy
You will have a testimony in the end of this.

OH well. would be a hassle dealing with money and everything I guess.
But it would be nice because shipping charges are a bummer.

Hello my friends.
The mystery is now solved for those of you who did not know who LaShelle was talking about. It's me.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. The posts brought tears to my eyes. All is well. I am scheduled for surgery later this week.
Please continue to pray for me and my family. I am a true believer that prayer changes things!
Thanks again.
