Just starting my journey

Hi all!  This is my first post to this forum.  I have been reading everything that I can about WLS and believe that this is the best path for me.  I would like to have the VSG.  I would appriciate any help that you can give me to have the best chance of getting approved.  I have a couple of questions.

I have UHC ppo.  I have called and they cover WLS 100% after my $200 deductable is fullfilled.  The associate that I spoke with at UHC said that VSG was covered along with lapband and the rny.  She didn't sound too certain about the VSG and I will have to call back to get confirmation again.

I guess my main question is about the 5yr medical records.  I currently have a BMI of 38 and high blood pressure.  It hasn't been that high for the whole five years.  I probably started out at about a BMI of 30 and have steadily increased from there.  I have also seen  a dr regularly about my weight.

Does anyone have experience with this type of 5 yr medical record and UHC?  Is there anything that I can do to better my chances of approval?

Thanks so much,
mary
