I'VE BEEN APPROVED POST IT HERE
In January, 2007 I was given the complete run around by United Healthcare and they took 30 days to DENY me for the lap band.
Then I went to a Center of Excellence and they did tons of tests over the past 8 months and really were a better office than the first one. I think the file they put together had to be awesome because this time United Healthcare approved me for RNY in ONE day. Yes, the office faxed over the paperwork on the 23rd of August and on the 24th my approval letters were mailed to my Dr. and me. I asked United about the healthcare review and all that had taken 30 days before and they said it was all done in ONE day. Lots and lots of prayers, that's the only way I can explain it.
I am sooooo excited and get to meet with my surgeon on Sep. 10th!! I don't know how but holding that approval letter in my hand is the happiest feeling in my life!
