Topic: Getting Iron Infusions (I'm scared!) Please help
Hello all, I have been severly anemic for a long time. I had RouxenY in 2001 and this complicated the anemia. Now I am trying to schedule reconstructive surgery. My date has actually been cancelled because my hemoglbin levels are too low. I am scheduled for iron infusions in a week and I was wondering about the infusions. Do they hurt? How long before my hemoglobin goes up? I'm really afraid, but I have to go through with the infusions in order to get the reconstructive surgery. Any information you can offer about the infusion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help.

Topic: United Healthcare excluding wls
My United Healthcare Options PPO lists: charges for, or related to, the treatment of obesity, including surgery for diet or weight control, with the exception of charges for, or related to, the treatment of morbid obesity, when approved by SHPS. We live in Alaska, my husband works for Pepsi under the Pepsi Bottling Group. I am getting the run around from UHC I called twice before and they said WLS would be covered if pre-approved by SHPS. When I called today to ask another question I was told this surgery is excluded and would not be covered. I am so confused! The wording for the exclusion seems to go either way. Any info would be appreciated.
