approval without letter of necessity

Hi everyone! Completely new here! I just wanted to know if anyone else was having a hard time getting the letter of necessity from their pcp? I have United health care and I asked the surgeons office to submit the insurance packet without it (doing that today keep your fingers crossed) but I wanted to know if anyone else has had issues getting the letter and if there's a chance for approval without it?

    Just wondering if you could tell me what all I need to get together for my insurance to cover the lapband? How do I show documentation for all the numerous diets I have tried?
