I'm new here but have been visiting for about two weeks, this is a great web site!!!!

Anyway my name is Krissy, I'm married,mother of two beautiful children(they're really monsters)

I went to my first appt. with the doc last Tues, I'm waiting on insurance approval and going insane, my BMI is 40.1 with no co-morbities. What are my chances, I have UHC? I woke up at 4am with chest pains, I must be stressing about getting approval from insurance, I hope?...........lol

Hi HappyK,

I was also UHC. I had a BMI of 35 with co-morbities and was approved. They were easy to work with.

I had UHC also. I was approved within 2 weeks with no problem. Good luck to you.

Keep being hopeful Krissy! Welcome to LBT!

Hi Chrissy!!! I had UHC with a BMI of 51 with some co-morbidities(severe sleep apnea, swelling, wheezing). I started the whole process on 7/28/05 and was approved on 8/13. UHC is pretty easy to work with.

Hi Krissy,

I was approved by UHC with no problem (co-morbities were high cholesterol and major back problems). Good luck with your approval! Having UHC seems to be the magic bullet... everyone else has trouble.

Welcome to LBT, and good luck!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Welcome Krissy! Nice to meet you!

Hi

I have UHC and I was approved in 2 weeks BMI 41 and no co-morbities

Welcome aboard - good luck with your approval - I have BCBS and was told that I would have no problems (which I didn't, they were wonderful) but I was still on pins and needles until I got the official word. You'll be fine - just stay relaxed.
