Hi all,

Well I won't know until end of Oct/beginning Nov if my UHC HRA Plus insurance will approve my sleeve w/only showing my past failed diets and 5 yr history. To be prepared just in case they say I need 6monyh diet... Has anyone been approved with using 2 --3 month diets at least 2 yrs within current date? Did u have to go to NIT/Dr for notes? Or could you use online diet logs/weight?

I'm doing 6 month diet now I was told that I had to have 6 month consecutive and online would not be used it had to be in the doctors notes I'm seeing my pcp for this I have two months left oh and I have Aetna .. But u just have to call the insurance everyone is different I've ppl have no diet to follow

Thanks for the reply... It's been a week since I saw surgeon so I'm going to call Monday to see i they submitted paperwork to UHC or when they will.... Crossing fingers they approve! (Without 6 month -- but having 2, 3 month dieting records)

I have not been approved by my insurance yet, still waiting. The submission was only made last week, but the insurance coordinator did accept my on-line dieting records.I know some insurance companies have approved patients with 6 mos weight watchers documentation. The cases I am aware of we're with stamped logs from meetings, but apparently the insurance coordinator at my surgeons office think the on-line records will suffice.
