UHC- HELP!?

Hi,

I was hoping someone can help me, I am fulfilling my requirements to receive the lap band. I started back in May 2012 and have been denied 3 times (appealing) since I haven't had six months documented weight loss. This will be my last month for a weigh in and I am just getting very nervous because I lost weight 5 out of the sixth months. One month I did gain weight, due to the wonderful things women go through. I am really nervous that I am going to get denied I am trying so hard and have been really struggling, it is not coming off easily and not staying off easily.

I guess what I am trying to ask, has anyone gone through the six month process and gained weight but got approved or denied?

I am 21 years old and have been dealing with weight since I was 9. My BMI is way over 40!

Thank you for any advice or help in advance!

I have UHC and do not have a required non-surgical weight loss period. You might want to post this out on the main forum to see what others say. I am sure this concern is global, not just relevant to folks with UHC.
