<p>I am in the approval process with UHC. I am worried that I will not get approved. My BMI is 37, but I have sleep apnea. I provided the 5 year documentation, had my nutrional and psychological evaluation. I got a letter the other day requesting a letter from PCP and the letter stated that I would be notified w/i one business day. Any similar experiences?<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/ranger.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Ranger" smilieid="301" class="inlineimg" /></p>

with a BMI over 40 your chance are very good just make sure you submitt everything at once and you should have a speedy approval. GOOD LUCK :clap2:

Hello Tiny71:

Destiny79 is sooo correct- the key to obtaining a quick and troublefree approval is to submit all of the information for UHC- all at once...

It will not be forwarded to the reviewing RN if the information is not complete-

Just remeber that!

You also have to stay on the office staff to ensure that they submit your case complete and without missing documentation (if you have it)

Good Luck!
