I'm just finishing my 6 months with my appointment in 2 weeks and I will tell you that it goes by so fast! The small changes that you can make now during the six-month time will help you with your success moving forward I had a very hard time giving up soda and my ice coffee but now that it's gone I don't even miss it Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

So nervous or excited for surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App So nervous or excited for surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was required to attended a weight loss info session, support group, a group dietician appt then 2 individual by my program the additional pcp visits are required by my insurance, not the program. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Glad to have support on this site too. It's really nice to get responses and read so much info! All of my visits have been covered by my insurance so far, which is great. I started the process last year and switched jobs and they have more strict requirements with this provider so I had to start all over again. Can't wait to finally get this done and get healthy!!!

Did you have a required weight loss too? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am on a 6 Month supervised diet to qualify for my surgery. Already have done a few support groups and 2 dietician visits. One more dietician visit then 2 with my primary provider, plus my psych eval and finally can meet with a surgeon! I have United for insurance and when they first told me six months, I was discouraged but it's passing very quickly! I'm on target to meet with my surgeon in August. I have to drop 8 pounds to qualify to move forward as a requirement as well. HW 297 CW 280 Anyone else looking at a similar timeline or better yet, in Maine?
