Topic: RE: APPROVED
Thank you.. I have ran the many stops of emotions since last week. Hoping it would come soon, but thinking I have a lot to do before then. Hopeing I am making the right choice for my family.. I know it's the right choice for me, for it's still surgery and that is still scary. But I am preparing my house and kitchen as best I can and stocking up for my two week pre op diet that starts on the 10th.

Congratulations on your approval!!! I still remember the day I got the phone call saying I was approved and that was over three years ago! And all three of my kids had surgery in 2010 and I remember getting the call for their approval too......so exciting!
Good Luck!

Topic: RE: Insurance won't cover so I need $25,000
Im in the same boat. (United Healthcare) My surgeon also told me between 23,000-25,000 for the surgery. I look forward to any answers anyone has since I will also be looking to finance the procedure.

Topic: RE: UHC 6 month diet/My Experience
Congrats on being your own advocate and a successful surgery!
I too have UHC and just attended my 1st seminar last night. I am looking to get the gastric sleeve. I was told I needed to have at least 5 yrs of tried attemps of losing weight. I cant remember all the doctors and dieticians from early age of 12! So, with your story, I am hopeful that if I show them I went to WW for a year back in 2009-2010, attempted phentamine and anything else, maybe like you, I will get approved! ??? I hope. Thanks for your story!

Topic: RE: Approved! UHC community plan
I believe I have the same insurance as you do. I am concerned that because I've done five months of documented weight I have gained and am afraid I may be denied. Any input on that?
