I received approval from United Health Care last week. Approval took 13 business days but we received a yes on the first pass. Preop appointment with my doc this week and sleeve surgery on 4.18. I am excited about gaining the tool that may finally allow me to win my weight battle. I have read many of your posts and want to thank you all for sharing your journey. This is my first post, I guess I have been one of those creepy lurkers up until now. Like you all, I was nervous about approval and wanted to ensure all was solid before sharing.

United required: psych eval, nut counseling, fitness eval, PCP clearance, cardiologist eval and 6 months supervised weight loss management. PCP sufficed in terms of weight loss management.
