Those who have uhc did you have to wait 6mo before surgery

Nope

Went n saw surgeon, I had failed diets before, met the bmi criteria, had history of obesity, and gloriously got approved quickly! Took me little over a month, start to finish.

Oh wow I'm sooo stoked but I don't want to wait 6mo

When did u get sleeved

Started out with UHC and it was a great plan but yes they required 6 months of doctor visits with monthly weights and documentation of diet and exercise information AND the doctor had to have it in a specific format to please them. Had to change insurance and took three more months for apporval from new insurance after they denied me and my doctor appealed it was approved

Yep..6 months of a medically supervised diet with diet and excercise notes, 5yrs of documented weight history, nut visit and psych evaluation. I didn't want to wait 6 months either but once I realized that was the deal I figured that the 6 months would pass whether I did the steps required or not...better to make the most of my 6 months. Besides, I used that time to give up sodas and limit my carbs (slowly) and it really helped me form those new habits! Once I was post op I didn't have all sorts of shocks to my system, in a lot of ways I was ready for it.

Only took about two months start to finish, could have been sooner but the scheduler messed up and delayed it about three weeks.

Yeah to get use to what your going to have to do. That wouldn't be so bad
