@@bnicolexo Thanks for responding. And I forgot to mention that I've been seeing a dietitian for three months prior to scheduling my appointment for my initial consultation. Is that a good thing? And does that count as a medical supervised diet program?

Yes, that's a good thing. I know many insurances require a weigh in monthly and some kind of expectations like diet and exercise discussed and documented then it should definitely count. Do you have to do a diet, and for how long?

Yes, I get weighed in twice a month for each visit. And yes my dietitian and I are currently working on a diet plan.

Hello, I'm new to the forum... I've been doing research on the Gastric Sleeve then I decided that the bypass is the better option for me... I know my insurance will cover the procedure...and I also know there's several hoops I got to take before getting approved.I've done my research and already contacted the surgeon of my choice and got some information. I can't continue to be unhealthy anymore.To those of you that have gotten the bypass...Where did you have your procedure done? Any complications? How did your family & friends react? How are you dealing with the lifestyle changes? And what steps did have to take to get approved by your insurance .

Hi, I'm in Columbia SC. The surgeon of my choice is Dr. Tribble.
