I AM APPROVED!!!!

OMG, I talked to my insurance company yesterday (UHC), and they said I have been APPROVED!!! I even asked the nice lady to repeat that for me, and she said yes, you have been approved. I'm so excited I don't know what to do. I called Freda at SBC, and she said she had to get the official word from UHC, so she will call me today to let me know what the next step is......YEAH BABY, I'm gonna be a "loser" too......Thanks to everyone on here who has been so helpful, and I'm so grateful for all the advice I've received....... This is me doing the happy dance..... Alli

Congratulations Alli!! I knew you would be, the waiting is just so hard and frustrating. Next you will speak to Noreen to schedule a LOT of appointments including your SURGERY DATE! Keep us posted. Cathy

i AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GIRL!!

Hey lady, what are you doing up so early?!??!?! I never thought I would be so excited to be a "loser"........Let the countdown begin Alli

Good going. I know when I got my approval I did not sleep that night I was so happy.

Congratulations Alli!!!! Now its only a little bit of time from here to go!! You'll be hearing from Freda soon enough!! Me doing the happy dance with you.... ~ Ayaunna

Congrats on the approval Alli ! I am so happy for you. Me dancing the happy dance with you! Yippee! Melissa

Wow, so happy for you! Are you with State of AZ UHC? Just wondering as my best friend has been denied and denied and denied by them. Hoping to get some suggestions on getting her approved. See you at support group Dec 4th? Mary

I actually work for a major airline here in PHX. I know that UHC covers both the lap band and the RNY, so your friends employer probably has an exclusion policy. Those can be tough to beat, so have your friend check the insurance forum for help. Gary Viscio is the moderator, and he is a wealth of information. Best of luck to your friend, is she on the boards also? I will see ya at the meeting on the 4th Alli

Hey Mary, I was denied and approved by UHC State of AZ. Have your friend email me or let's talk on 12/4. Thanks for the turkey recipe!! Katie
