NMJG 1,266 Posted December 12, 2013 I have UHC too. They were great all along. It's really good that they send you to a Center of Excellence for WLS. You read some surgeon horror stories on this board. If you have to travel for your surgery, they will pay for hotel, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
