New and nervously waiting!
So this is my first post.... I went for my evaluation on August 8th. Everything went well and my BMI was at 41.1! I am nervously awaiting approval from my insurance. (United Healthcare Choice Plus) I know that plenty of people have been approved on UHC but I don't want to get my hopes up and then be let down. I am not sure that I can take that at this point. What makes me nervous is my five year history. I was at a BMI of 38 and not 40 so I am terrified that I will be rejected. I have a sleep study scheduled for the 26th and for "approval sake" I hope that I do have sleep apnea. I was told by my doctors office that this would help my case. Any encouragement will help!!!


Thanks!
