HELLO ALL!!!!!!

So I have to complete 6 visits with a nutritionist per my insurance. I have completed 4 already next visit will be my 5th and start my phyc eval, endoscopy, etc. But lately I have beef feeling that I wont get approved bc I dont have high blood pressure nor diabetes... just asthma. My BMI is 41... I have UHC insurance. Any advice or soothing words?

I had UHC with zero co-morbidities and a BMI of 41 as well and was approved within 3 days so stay positive!! I didn't have to do the 6 nutritionist visits prior to my surgery so that's kind of weird, but you have access to UHC's requirements (which I'm sure you called and learned about those before starting this) and as long as you meet what they have listed, you should be good to go!

Yes I looked into it and researched it for over a year. Decided on the gastric hands down. N im getting excited, anxious, n I guess getting closer I just dont want any set backs..... thanks for those kind words..... what did u do when u got the approval... like u last meal, what did u pack and how was your experience?

I didn't have the same insurance but I did think I was going to get denied... I thought every day something would come up or get in the way of my surgery. I had doubts even when they were prepping me for surgery. It wasn't until i woke up with a bypass that I stopped doubting it.
