  11. Hello, I found out the women at my surgeon's office knew everything about uhc they deal with them all day aswell. You have to have all the requirements done before they can submit the info to get approve.they just want you to do 6 months insurance I don't think any sooner I just don't want to push it even if I finish all the requirements early there has to b a reason for this 6 months.some doctor appointments take 2 months to get they want u to b prepared for this life changing experience. I know it's going to b quite different and so many things we couldn't do that we will bable to. That is going to b great to run around with my 6 year olds twins and not b out of breath! ! Healthier just amazing the story I've heard and the things that I'm learning blessed truley.
  12. Hello, I live in new jersey the requirements r 6 months new york also. I Google uhc requirements for baratric surgery and it gave me all the info I needed for new jersey. The told me and the surgeon the most important is the medically necessary letter from your primary, and phys. Evaluation then u have cardic , plumanary, gastrointestinal stomach scope, a few more then meet a the surgeons office 1 time a month this keeps ya quite busy ya wonder if ya make all this in 6 months some appointments ya have wait a month or so. I don't like the part were they submit it 2 weeks before my scheduled date oh well is what is!! Thank God there willing to pay for this very greatfull for that.
