Hey all! My insurance requires a 6mo diet and I was told meeting with my doctor every month would count. I was looking forward to my "6th" month being in July since I started in January but my doctor told me I didn't have an appointment in February. I can't believe I missed an appointment. I guess this means the diet won't start until March then since they have to be consecutive? I'm so disappointed now because I was hoping for a August surgery date at the latest and now I'm guessing it won't be until October. I'm so frustrated now because I was getting excited that my day was right around the corner and now it seems so far away. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? I just want to start losing weight now and not feel hungry like this all the time. I'm afraid I'll keep gaining.

I just started the process in May, my second time now because 3 years ago when I was trying to get insurance approval, my insurance changed and I was denied. This time I made sure my insurance covers it. I had everything done 3yrs ago too, the 6mo diet and all. This time I've already been seeing my pcp monthly and was told at my orientation appointment that those checkups should count towards by required 6mo diet. So far I've had 2 appointments with the weight loss clinic and I've gained weight. Has anyone else gained during the pre-approval process? It's almost like I've been eating all the things I feel like wont be able to have again so I may as well eat up. I know that's the wrong way to look at it and I'm afraid gaining will hurt my chances. Has anyone else done this?

I'm going through my 6mo diet now and hoping for September too! I'm so excited and I just hope it all goes smoothly. We're all in this together!
