Ok so I got a call today from the surgeons office and they've contacted my insurance and found out my insurance does cover it which is great. My bmi is over 40 so that's good. But she said they need 5 years (1 recorded weight via physician each year) I believe I may be missing a year.

Anyone run into this before?? The next step is to meet with the physician on Thursday to see if he feels I'm a candidate then to submit my paperwork. But is it worth amortization g if I don't have everything they need?

Thanks!!

My wife and I have a UHC Options PPO. they also said they required a 5 year weight history. I was missing 2010 and my wife was missing 2009, due to the fact that we only went to the doctor when we were REALLY sick..meaning we didn't get sick enough to go to a doc those years. We were approved in less then a week even with those missing..so you might be ok missing 1 year

I can only account for 4 out of the last 5 years- I never went to the dr unless I felt like I was dying. I hope it doesn't hurt my chances

Hopefully they will approve, do you have some other health conditions that may make an impact?

I was just diagnosed with hypertension
