Ask to talk to the Care Department.. and see what they say.. What UHC do you have.. EPO? PPO? PPO Choice???

I agree.. some people get a approval faster then others... Im with UHC and I have a BMI: of 62.9 I thought that I would never get approved... but finally I did... good thing to Im breaking down..... Fight them... ask why, who and where... you can do it... Good luck with it all.. let me know how things go okay!

Chip dissovle because they are a Carb.. and your saliva glands dissovle carbs... just like it would if you held a popcorn in your mouth... Anyway... Have you tried cream soups? Maybe like spam, mayo, pickle, cheese.. blended up very mushy... like a fine sandwich spread... maybe blend a couple of your favorite fruits and pour it over cottage cheese for and sweet treat. thats all i can think of... Im sure more people with help with better ideas... Good Luck!
