Hey Lammy!

Give Cheryl a call at Dr. P's. She can give you a good gauge on ,typically, how long it takes them.

Also, you can call your insurance company a put a fire under their *&$ by being a squeeky wheel. Just remember to talk to the same  person each time you call and ask them to call YOU when the approval goes through!

Hope to see you around!

Hi Pamela!

Glad you found us too! Congrats on losing 100lbs! That's awesome!!!

Any chance you can get to a support group meeting?

Check my profile, you will see the list there! Basically, there is at least one per week and they are Soooo helpful!

Beginning May 12th, I will be running a support group for people who are 2+ years out!

If you ever wanna chit-chat or want some added support, give me a hollar!

Anyone have any read on how long United Health Care takes for approvals once submitted?

I have no patience left

Thanks in advance

Hello all
I'm so glad to have found this forum.
I had gastric bypass in december of 08. I have lost a hundred pounds, but need to lose at least 60 more and I've hit a brick wall. The scale is not moving.
So I will be reading posts, asking questions and hopefully getting my motivation back so I can finish losing this weight.
I am 40 and homeschool my 2 children aged 8 and 7 so I'm pretty busy.
Pamela

If you would like to try the Nectar by Syntrax for free, come to the Post-Op meeting at RWMC on Wednesday. I'll bring some samples.

Or, give me a call. We'll meet for 'coffee' or a walk in the park!

See ya then?!?
