  1. My pcp started my supervised diet yesterday, and she encouraged me to see another surgeon for WLS. She had questions for me that I couldnt answer (i.e. how do u like ur surgeon?). His practice had their seminar online, so I didn't have any face to face interaction with him. My insurance covers 100%
  2. I had my visit today and it went well, on a restricted calorie diet and I must exercise 3/4 per week for 45 minutes....my doc also encourage me to check out other surgeons
  3. Thank you all for the information. I'm completing the 3 month progran just in case this is what the insurance wants. Their verbage is vague and doesnt specify a timeframe.
  4. For you ladies thst have had sugery, how much weight should I lose monthly during my 3 month supervised diets? Im currently 265 (i think), and of course I'm 5.5
  5. Congratulations!!! Have a speedy recovery.
  6. Hi All, Today is my first appointment with my pcp for my supervised diet. What can I expect? Are there any test that should be ran on the first visit? I also think I remember the pre-cert nurse at the surgeon office saying the first appointmenr doesn't count toward the 3 month requirement. Have any of you heard of this??
  7. I am 5.5 and I want to be 145-155lbs! I appear to have a large until I show pictures of my early 20's.
