I have UHC and from what I've read of other people's posts on here I'm starting to get a little nervous. No one has mentioned anything to me about a required 6month dr monitored diet, no ones told me anything about possibly having to pay my portion of the costs upfront. Do you really have to pay upfront before surgery? I've never had any kind of surgery or procedure before, so I never even thought of this as a possibility. If that's the case, I may not be having surgery after all.

I have UHC and the 6mo supervised diet is a requirement for some employers not all. So I would check specifically what your plan requirements are. I have UHC and I had to complete the 6mo weight loss diet. I just met with my surgeon and submitted everything so now I have a waiting game of 15 days....
