kensom235 - I should clarify that while my United Healthcare plan will pay for sleeve surgeries, I have not submitted for insurance approval yet. My consultation is June 10th and then the insurance process will begin. I will let you know how it goes!

Hello! I am in Houston, Texas and going for my doctor consultation on June 10th. I've learned that my insurance company will cover the Sleeve (United Healthcare/AT&T plan). The insurance company needs 5 years of doctor records showing I have been overweight for this length of time. I actually haven't been good about going to the doctor at all for the last several years. Has anyone had this requirement and received approval without the 5 years of weight "proof"? Do morbidities assist in this case? This week I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Thanks for any feedback you can offer!
