Wondering if  anyone knows if insurances (specifically UHC) considers insulin resistance as co-morbid condition for WLS.....?

Insulin resistance is not normally considered a comorbidity. Full-blown type 2 diabetes is. But the only way to know for sure is to check with your specific insurance provider.

Insulin resistance is a decreased ability of some of the cells of the body to respond to insulin. It is the beginning of the body not dealing well with sugar. The main job of insulin is to get certain body cells to "open up" to take in glucose but  Insulin resistance happens when the cells essentially don't open the door when insulin comes knocking.
