Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Judith, Thank you so very much for your words of encouragement. I still have at least 42 pounds to go but I will make it there. I hope to be doing the dance with Dr. Rutledge by mid September. With Love, Lara M. Akin (BMI 63) Trying to get my weight down to do the dance with Dr. Rutledge.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Dear , I am Ruqayya from Miami, and I am desperately seeking approval from United Healthcare of Florida to go " out-of network " to Dr. R. Please tell me you have United. Anyway, I wish you the best with your surgery. I am so glad I joined this group. Everyone one is so supportive. I'm just afraid that if United refuses the MGB and I have to go RNY (because I have to have A Sugery) that I will miss you all. I've become so attached already just reading everyones letters. Anyone with any experience with United of Florida, please please please give me more hope!!! Ruqayya---Rikaya31@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Hi Ruqayya ! I used to live in Hollywood..not to to far from Miami ~smile~ I do not have United I'm afraid, I have Cigna, one of the most stubborn, thickheadded insurances out there...so if Cigna can approve...United should too !! Listen..even if You had to get the RNY, it does not mean you cant come here to this sight...we are all here because we have a terrible disease that has been in control of our lives for too darn long !!! WE are all here because we are fighting back...taking back control, whether that is thru Dr.R , RNY or any type of WLS, we are all her for each other, so if you have the RNY, please continue to come and talk with all of us, we all need each other. You are in my prayers. >From: Rikaya31@... >Reply-To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >Subject: Re: Digest Number 1889 >Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 22:16:16 EDT > >Dear , > >I am Ruqayya from Miami, and I am desperately seeking approval from United >Healthcare of Florida to go " out-of network " to Dr. R.

Please let me know what your experience with Cigna has been. Everytime I hear of an approval from Cigna, I get my hopes up. They have denied me 3 times and I have exhausted my appeals, but I am still not giving up hope. I have a lawyer and my Benefits Mgr in my company going to bat for me. Thanks for your input. , MGB hopeful since 2/19. Denver, NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
