Okay, I am so frustrated. Today I had a big let down. I called my insurance company's Bariatric Resource Center to find out that Morbid Obeasity surgey or programs were not covered under my benefits... This was a huge let down only after feeling euphoria on Wed. when my PCP said that he would refer to a bariatric surgeon and that I was a good candidate for the procedure... Can anyone help me? Please! This surgery is of most importance, but I just cannot afford to pay for it out of pocket. Danielle:ohmy:

Hi Carla, Your news has given some encouragement. :crying: I hope I will be able to hear the same new soon. I toohave United Healthcare Choice Plus, but from what I read in my benefits coverage; I don't believe they would approve me. I haven't started my process yet because I was discouraged when I read that no surgeries were covered pertaining to obeasity. Are there any tips/information you could share with me on how you received an approval from them. Please share!!! Thanks Danielle
