folks, i am worried that united healthcare will not pay for the band surgery. i so badly need to lose 120 pounds, going thru a divorce, college work and long hours at work. i am really worried about this...nothing else works and it is despiration time...earliest appointment might be one month, haven't been able to get in to see anyone yet.

Sean, I don't have any words of wisdom except for this .Try to stay focused on your goals.I had lost sight of my own.Hopefully O am back on track now.I will pray that you have your surgery and a successful recovery. Sylvia

Hi Sean! I have UHC PPO with Caterpillar. I am having RNY, first appt. with Dr. King is scheduled for July 3, 2003. I got my approval through UHC very quickly in about 1 month with very few comorbidties. Talk to your employer and also contact the insurance company yourself, I did about 1 time a wee****il my approval. Wishing you well with everything!

I am also from Booneville. I have spoken to Irene via email. My surgeon was Dr King and I am 18 months post op and at goal weight. Email me anytime you wanna chat.

Hi Sean... I have UHC and used Dr. Stahl in B'ham at Brookwood. Had a great experience there. It took about 2 months from start to finish. Had mind on in Feb of this yr. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me anytime. God bless!
