    I have UHC Choice Plus and I didn't have to submit a five year history. However, depending on which plan your employer has will determine what you will need to submit. I had to call the 800 # on the back of my card which they gave me the 800 # to the Bariatric Resource Service to "enroll" which I received a case manager who in turn reviewed what critieria I needed to meet. For my policy I had to complete a six month supervised diet and exercise, psych eval, have a bmi over 40 and a letter from my PCP. Once I completed those requirements the surgeon submitted all of my paperwork to my UHC case manager. Best thing to do is to call and see if there is a number to put you in contact with a Bariatric Resource Service Rep. They are the ones that deal with the ins and outs of your policy for Weight Loss Surgery. Good Luck with everything. :)

    I do not eat potatoes, rice, bread, Pasta. Period. I enjoy my green vegetables very much. I have to say that I do not miss the potatoes, rice, bread, Pasta. I use to crave the hell out of those pre surgery. Today, the smell is a turn off. I Do eat a lot of fish and chicken and green Beans, brussel sprouts and cabbage, any green vegetable. I do eat fruit, melons are my favorite. I'm not bashing anyone just because their preference is different, just that I prefer low carb, as it is what works for me. Not everyone is the same. Some need more carbs than others. I keep mine under 30. If what you are eating is working for you then stick to it. :)

    Hi Choripan!!!!! And Welcome!!!!! I was sleeved 3/7/2011 and I'm very happy with my decision to have WLS. I would do it again in a New York minute. I will admit that I wish the weight would have came off quicker, But I cannot complain with what I have lost so far. It has been a huge learning experience with what works and what does not. Stalls can will happen. Just learning to change up the routine a bit is what works.(for me anyway) I don't have that much more to lose I am doing my best to work it off with in the next few months. I want to be a goal before the holidays. So I am pushing myself to keep on losing. Knock wood I have not had any issues at all. Post op for me was a very easy recovery. I went back to work two weeks. My surgeon made me wait until my staples came out. I could've went back sooner. Wish I would have. Not everyone will experience the same thing. Nor will the weight loss be the same. Some make goal in six months some in ten others in eighteen. Good luck with your decision and your journey!!!!!! :)

    For the past month I have been weeding through my closet. I have found some old clothes that I can now wear to work. My can wear pile is way smaller than the can't wear pile. My size has went from a 16 to a 14 (I'm guessing) in about five weeks. The 16's are baggy in the butt and waist. So I'm going shopping. My vacation starts Sept. 1 and will be heading to the beach so need some cute capris and tanks. :)

    Love that feeling. :)
