Hi my name is Brittany Eubanks and my husband and I will be having the gastric sleeve whenever we are done jumping through the medical requirements. We are just starting out but have our psychological evaluations tomorrow but most people are worried about them but I am not because I know just to be honest and myself and it will be ok..... I have a bmi of 66 I am 5'1" and have been overweight my whole life and am ready for a new start to a new life.... I know I just rambled on but I am excited and my husbands asleep so thank you for reading

I have UHC too. After I completed my 6 month diet, everything moved pretty quickly. I was approved in 2 business days. Keep us posted!

Wow!! Two business days? I hope it's the same for me!

This month I'll have my fourth appt., and it's gone really fast!! I've completed all my prerequisites for surgery. I should be ready to go after my last appointment in May! I'm so excited!

I have UHC as well and I am on month 2 on my 6 month supervised. Did you have a set amount of weight to lose? My insurance says it doesn't but I'm a little confused meaning their may not be a set amount but I'm assuming they are expecting some amount of weight loss effort?

I do not have a set weight to lose but I want to lose 10% just in case

I had to sign up with a case nurse through Optum as a part of my requirements from UHC to have surgery. She didn't tell me that I had to lose any weight. I have lost 11 lbs since my initial visit with my surgeon, that's from eating healthier, and logging my food.

I have uhc as well. I did all the requirements and was approved. The approval took 2 weeks though! It was the longest 2 weeks ever!!! Hopefully they don't make you wait that long!! I'm 3 months out and it has been the best thing I have ever done!

From what I understood, when they look at your paperwork they want to see somewhat of a loss even 2 pounds is something. As long as you don't gain. I think they mostly look at month 1 and month 6 so as long as you are even a pound or two less that looks good to them.
