IF that is what your insurance requires then you probably will have to do it. So the beginning is right now. Start doing daily logs on your food (your nut probably has asked you do to that) if you have seen your Primary care doc for weight loss those records could help. But bottom line if that is what they require you will just have to see the nut for six months, get everything else done that is needed to be approved and go for it. I know it sucks. Waiting sucks it just does. But somehow you have to know that this will be time well spent getting ready for surgery and a healthier way of living. And that can start even before the surgery. My thoughts and hopes are with you. Keep coming here for support and knowledge. You have made the first step. For the majority of us it has not been a quick process. So just hang on you are getting ready for a great ride.
I had my three in a row. An hour with the nurse, then an hour with the nutritionist, then an hour with the shrink... BAM, BAM, BAM... was good, meant I only had to take a half day off work instead of over 3 days
I CAN'T WAIT! I am 3 pounds from being out of 300 forever! Lol I am so happy for you and I know I will cry like a baby. I don't remember the last time I weighed less than 300lbs.
Such victory! *cheers*
