I just heard today that my request for VSG was denied because during the past 5years there was one dip in my BMI below 35. There was a doctor's visit where my weight put me at a BMI of 34. I wrote and submitted a letter of appeal as in all the other years where a weight was recorded my bmi is above 35 and currently my BMI is 42.4. Does anyone have experience with the UHC appeals process and how much time it took and if it succeeded or failed?
