I started my journey last month met with Dr he said I was a good candidate for gastric sleeve using robotic surgery. Dr. has me doing the following, 3 visit to Nutritionist, one psych evaluation, upper gi, blood work, get clearance from Cardiologist and general Dr. I have already had one visit to the nutritionist and she place me on a diet with no sugar or carb. My insurance is UHC and when my Dr office called they just told the standard no define months on supervised diet so we are going with 3 months and try. I have a deductable so pretty much I am paying all.out of pocket. ( will be disappointed if I go thru all this and not get approved) I have great support from my husband and sisters. But looking for support that are and have gone thru this process. Thank you, I will have questions and more question as I start my journey. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have UHC I have not contacted the insurance but the Dr. Assistant has. But now I have read several times that UHC requires you have surgery at Center of Excellence my question. How do i know if the Dr and hospital are that I am seeing? Will I be denied my surgery for not going to the Center of Excellence. ( the Dr. Works out of a large hospital here).
