I have UH and it took 3 days for approval

[msmanda84 9]

Awesome! Did u have other conditions besides a BMI over 40?? And what did they all require for nutrition appts etc etc??

[cajun_queen 94]

I had sleep apnea, and they only required one nutrition class

[queendeborahbee 119]

Wow, where do you live? I thought UHC made everyone wait 6 months with 6 nutrition classes.

They told me it had to be a total of 6 appointments where my weight was discussed within the last 2 years.. its interesting how every policy is different!

[cajun_queen 94]

Every policy can vary greatly. I'm in Texas, most policies vary depending on employer. Your employer discusses details that it does or doesn't not want for their employees. I had first appt. with Bariatric surgeon on Jan. 12th and was sleeved Feb. 28th.

I was told it had to do with state requirements.

After I completed my 6 month diet, I was submitted within a week and approved in 24 hours. My surgery was scheduled for the next month.
