I have united healthcare choice plus ppo and I haven't found out my approval date as I am in the beginning stages but from what my insurance said they cover 90% of the expenses and that my doctor makes those decisions but that I should be approved as long as my bmi is 40 or higher. they said is could be 3 months to 6 months before that.

So I haven't started the process yet... and was wondering if any has gone threw United Healthcare for their surgery? I know most of the basics on what they cover for gastric sleeve, but what I want to know is if they covered everything or if they covered 80%? I just want to be prepared a little better before making the leap for this.

I haven even talked to a doctor about doing the surgery yet I'm doing lots of research before hand and then in a few month I'm going to bring it up. I want the surgery. I had a baby over a year ago and cant get the weight off.. I have always been overweight, but after the baby I packed on more and its just tiring and embarrassing. Anyone else in this boat?
