Congrats on your approval.

Thanks for all the insight. I'm just wanting to be healthy again. I'm tired of being scared of what could happen if I continue to be over wieght.

I looked up my benefit coverage and I'm covered for the surgery. But it explains that with a bmi 35 to 40 bmi with 2 or more health issues also with a phyc valuation. Also required to participate in a 6 month doctor supervised diet. My question is this my bmi is 50+ with no major health issues yet would I be able to skip the 6 month diet or have to do the diet?? (5'9"- 356lbs.)

Thanks I really hope I don't need the 6 month diet my knees and back seem to get worse as time goes on.

Just started the process did my seminar but talked to my ins. I'm covered (uhc) for it. Just wondering what I need to expect. I'm 5'9" 360lbs. So I figured my bmi is 50.
