So my insurance requires the 6mo diet. What exactly gets sent to the insurance for review? Since Jan this year I've been seeing my primary doctor about weight-loss. But it wasn't until August that I set my mind up for surgery because nothing has worked since January. Anyone think those past apts might count?
So I have decided that I want to get sleeved! My insurance requires a 6 month medically supervised diet...wth does that exactly mean?! I went to a info orientation sat at the university of Chicago..so I will be making some calls tomorrow.
I have been seeing my doc and a counselor (for depression/eating disorder) at the recommendation of my doc since jan. I met with my counselor every two weeks and saw my doc every 3 months. We worked on mindful eating and in these past 8 months I have been able to control my binge eating. Would showing my insurance documentation of my last 8 months pass as a "medically supervised diet?"
