I have united healthcare and have to wait 6 months, but there are others on this forum who have united healthcare and don't have to wait at all.

I have Kaiser. I was required to take a 6 week class (last class is today). In 7-10 days I will get a call from the surgeons office to schedule my official consult and will schedule the surgery. I first went to see a nurse practitioner in the weight management and she approved me for the classes. So I guess I met the basic Kaiser requirements.

I have BCBS of TX. There was no waiting period, or supervised diet plans that I know of. Of course, I had plenty of documented weight loss attempts prior. You had to have a minimum BMI of 35 I think with 1 of the listed co morbidities, or a BMI of 40+ without any comorbidities.

It might not be required for my insurance and just a requirement of my surgeon? They have a huge program and think it's necessary for ppl to be successful to complete the program plus they don't want to risk insurance denying it so they come at them with all kinds of documentation lol

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
