I'm new to this site, and my surgery date is December 4th, yay! I had my initial consultation on October 16th, my paperwork was submitted to my insurance company (UHC) about a week ago, and I got a call yesterday that I was approved. my BMI is exactly 40 with no co-morbidities. I was shocked at how quickly it happened. I'd heard about the 6 month wait, etc. but there's no wait. I just wanted to share my experience with UHC, so others won't be discouraged. Good luck to you all.:thumbup:
