  1. Thank you ladies! I see my doc in exactly a week so I'll have to see if she's willing to work with me on that.
  2. 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?
  3. 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?"
