  1. I have UHC Choice Plus and they told me I will need the 6 month diet, psych eval, and of course it has to be through a Center of Excellence. Maybe once I get things going, they will tell me I don't need some things. Let's hope so because I am not so patient and I don't want to wait six months and pretend to "diet".
  2. I agree! I'm just getting nervous now. After the phone call it seemed everything was good and as long as I did xyz I was set. Now, not so sure but still hopeful. Hubby is good because he has diabetes (not that that should be a good thing!) But he definitely will be fine....I'm jealous!
  3. I know right drijc? It's annoying to me that I need to "diet" when it has never worked, and I have been reading that some doctors have also told patients not to lose weight during that time just so that they will be sure to be accepted. Gotta love the insurance companies!
  4. Hello, newbie here! Just called insurance today and was told I need the 6 month diet, and psych eval. My BMI is just above 40 so I am unsure if I should even try to lose weight for the 6 months. Not sure what to be expecting but excited to have a goal and to have started. My hubby will also be going through the process. We live in Florida and have UHC Choice Plus Insurance. Hi everyone!
