  1. Nobody I know has been denied because of a gain. As long as the were strict about adhering to the monthly visits with a Dr. They were good to go.
  2. My surgeon didn't even submit so I don't really have anything to appeal. It was just a requirement from my initial visit. But that's great it's working out for you. I've only got 60 days left so I figure I'll just wait it out. Took so long to even get the authorization for the consult so I don't want to rock the boat.
  3. I'm in California. I will be at Memorial Hospital in Modesto if all goes well. The countdown continues. I just had my month 4 appointment so 2 to go.

  5. I have UHC HMO and I have the 6 month diet and exercise monitoring requirement but no mention of a six month waiting period after that. A friend of mine with the same insurance went had surgery six months ago and once she submitted to her insurance it took about a week to get approved. She had surgery two weeks later. Hope this helps.
  6. Victoza hasn't helped me lose weight at all. I have UHC as well. I have gained and then lost and gained again. We'll see if I get denied I guess. I'm nervous too. I'm on the low end of the BMI and I believe only one comorbidity.
