I don't have a surgeon yet....about the only thing I've done is pass the verbal pre-screening to join the program and schedule my first call with the bariatric nurse. I DO have high bad cholesterol and low good (I forget which is which), and sleep apnea. I know this isn't a comorbidity, but found out today I will be having a knee surgery April 3....and I know that it is partially due to my weight....so I gotta lose it so I don't need the other done. Hopefully that will be a contributing factor for approval.

Thank you SO much, this is immensely helpful!!! I have UHC and like Mandybb I had to enroll in the bariatric program. I've just begun the process though, my first phone consult with the bariatric nurse isn't for 3 weeks. No one has said what weight they go by, though....if I drop below 40 during my 6 month required dieting, will UHC deny me? I'm worried.
