UPMC For You
I don't have any specifics on your insurance and have not dealt with them.
If you are interested, I can send you my insurance request letter. It was written by a friend who got approved on the first shot, revised by me for my specific needs, and has been used by a few others on this board all who have gotten approved. If your doctor is not real great at writing these types of letters (or has not done it on a consistent basis) I'll be glad to email it to you. You could revise it to fit your situation and also include your 6 mos diet stuff and all of your documentation.
Remember, in most cases, documentation is EVERYTHING in this game so the more data you have to support your cause the more helpful it will be. Letters of diagnosis from being obese from ob/gyn, respiratory, cardiac, diabetes, primary care doctors - whatever you have.
It is common to have this fear as we all cringe about getting approved....but if you play by their rules *generally* they work in your favor.
Hang in there and congrats on being almost done w/ the pre approval requirements!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
