I'm so nervous, anxious, scared & stressed that I will be denied. I have UHC Choice Plus & my insurance policy under my job covers WLS. Here's the deal -- I have no major comorbidities & my BMI is only 37.4. I don't suffer from high BP, cholestrol or diabetes. I do have sever lower back pain due to bulging disc & knee issues. I don't know if this is enough for them or would they deny me because I don't have what they are looking for. Please help me I'm desperate.

I also have UHC Choice Plus, and that sounds really tricky, especially if they say they cover the surgery if you have a +35 with co-morbidities or a +40 without. It might be an idea to go talk with a surgeon or your PCP about your options in this matter.

I've been APPROVED!!! I am soo happy. I'm hoping to have surgery AUGUST 1st. Is there anything I need to do before then? And what should I buy to have post-OP?
