My UHC (BariatricPal Resource Services) had a time frame of 15 business days. That would have been this Thursday. It was a long 11 business days. I called several times to check status. Good luck with your approval!

This video helped me get my head around the whole why not "just eat healthy small potions and exercise" thing. This Dr. has a bunch of great videos.

Great results. Did you go bypass or VSG?

I'm two months in to my required six NUT (UHC) appointments. BMI 40+ with all the co-morbids. All other req met. Hopefully approval will be quick when I finish NUT appointments in December and surgery in Feb/March. I was hopeful to get surgery done this year as deductible is met.
