United Health Care, Raytheon Plus Insurance?

I feel like a giddy school girl! I was sleeved 11/2012 in Mexico as my husbands insurance didn't cover any form of bariatric care and he's watched as I've lost the weight and been successful. He's finally decided that he's ready to make his own sleeve journey! I'm so excited for him!! Luckily, his current insurance carrier now does cover bariatric surgery, so I've contacted their 'Bariatric resource center', they've set up a referral in their system, and they're supposed to be calling within 3-5 business days to get him enrolled in the program, and tell us what to expect. Does anyone already know? Does anyone have United through Raytheon? What services do they cover? Do they cover the sleeve?! Of course my husband and I both are partial to the sleeve as that's what I've had and been highly successful, of course we've done all of the research and feel the sleeve is best anyway. We are so excited for this journey for him, and know we'll get the info in about a week anyway, but does anyone else out there already know?! Having been a Mexico sleever, my process was pretty quick and seamless, choose your Dr., the surgery, pay, do a 2 week liquid diet, fly to Mexico and have surgery! I know it won't be nearly as quick and easy, but just wondering if United requires a 6 month supervised diet, does it depend on co-morbidities? My husband has a BMI of 49 and also has a heart murmer. Any info will be great! I'm just as excited now as I was when I had first decided to be sleeved and started my journey! YAY!

I have united and for the six months you can use doctor appointments from last 2 years,no more than 1x a month where you were weighed. I was sooo excited when they told me . Hoping to have surgery this spring.
