Hello all, A little about my quest for WLS..... I have been in the process of WLS for over 2 year long years now. "sigh" I can finally see the finish line in the far distance. BTW I have UHC choice plus gold tier plan with OptumHealth for Bariatric Resources So far I have done or scheduled to do: 1/2010: Call UHC. Was transferred to OptumHealth to check eligibility.... I'm eligible BUT have to waiting until my husband works with has employer for 2 straight years. I was told to call back around May 2011 5/10/2011: Called back and talked again to enrollment person. They emailed me my insurance requirements and paperwork/form for 6 months of supervised diet. I was told to call back in Nov. to get my RN case workers. At this point I was excited! 5/10/2011: Started Weigh****chers as a extra kick off to 6 month diet. 6/2011: Saw my PCP and started my supervised diet. She signed off my form.... 11/09/2011: Called and was officially enrolled! Have my RN case worker. She is very nice! Was told to setup appointments with Legacy. BUT Still have to wait until Feb. 1st because of husbands employer requirements "sigh"  11/09/2011: Called Legacy started the process with them. I have all my appointments scheduled out. 12/16/2011: Saw my PCP for the last of my 6 month diet.  01/09/2012: Blood work again. 01/2012: REE testing done. Up and coming next month: First week of Feb. 2012, More blood work, Welcome meeting, EKG, Pyshc testing, nutritionist, Physical therapist, meet with surgeon. Mid Feb. Sleep Study Surgery????
