hey. i have uhc throught my parents. what ive been told i needed was a history of having a bmi over 40 for 5 years and past weight loss attempts overviewed by a dr. i have both. i also have pre diabetes and sleep apnea. the only thing im worried about is that my first year in the 5 year history i was a bmi of 33.8, but all other years i was well over 40. but at the time i was only 15 years old. how do you think they will view that? im so worried. my drs office is just about to submit my paper work for the first time. anybody have a similar experience?

I have UHC community plan, it is a plan under NYS medicaid. I have a bmi of over 50. I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea. Has anyone dealt with this insurance. I just sign consent and my paperwork is going out tomorrow. My nerves are shot. Does anyone think I will have a problem?

Hi there. I also have United Health Care community plan under Michigan Medicaid. I was just wondering if you got a response back. I have been trying to find info on what the prereqs are for me to get the lap band. My BMI is also over 50 and I have blood pressure. I hope you get approved!!!

hi, i am getting banded very soon i hope. i have united healthcare choice plus. i was wondering why it took 9 months for the surgery. i have completed all the paperwork except psy, which is next week. the dietician is this friday. did they require you to do a series of diets. i wish you well on your surgery.

How did you get approved, because they're telling me I have no baritric coverage....
