I have United Health Care for my insurance and I've completed my six month visit with my PCP now I'm working on gathering my five year history. My concern is back in 2005 my nutrionist had me on the PSMF diet program ( Post Modified Fast) I lost a nice amount of weight down to 209 then September 2006 I had a complete histeractomy then started putting weight back on now my BMI is 42. So I'm worried that UHC will say no to my surgery because my BMI was 36 in 2005 and part of 2006. Please let me know if any of you had this same thing happened and if you were approved.
PS My surgeon cancelled my surgery date when he found this out,I think I'm going to get bad news :crying:
Thanks
