Good luck, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. This has proven to be a very emotional and frustrating process.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me about your experience with United Health Care. I was told when I called that the only requirement for approval is being morbidly obese, which according to my BMI, I am. I am also on medication for high blood pressure and have arthritis. When I called the Dr's office today to ask if they had sent in for my approval, she said United may require a five yr weight history. Has anyone experienced this and if so how much of an impact will it have on the approval? I have not been this heavy for the past five years, so I am unsure why this would be something they need. Thanks.
