United Healthcare?
I was wondering if anyone here has been denied by UHC. I've seen stories from people who were approved, but none that have been denied. I'm concerned that they might deny me because I keep gaining weight. I know that I'm probably eating too much, but I quit smoking last year and that has always made me want to eat more, and as a result, gain weight. I'm getting over the ravenous cravings I had at first and the gain is tapering off, but it still creeps up on me, even though I'm watching it and working out. I don't binge and never have and I haven't been morbidly obese for very long (only about 8 months). I had been in the past but lost the weight (I started smoking again--can't and don't want to do that again). The surgeon's office also told me that if I lost too much weight before surgery, I wouldn't qualify. I want to lose NOW, but it'll probably be at least 4 months before I can get the surgery due to surgeon's backlog.
