Actually with uhc you have TWO options.... weigh in with your for 6 months OR you can provide 6 months worth of documentation of a structured diet program that you tried in the last 2 years. I was able to print out 6 months worth of logs from MYFITNESSPAL.

You mentioned that all you have to do is weigh in once a month? Is that a hard requirement? I too have UHC and I have been seeing a nutritionist for ~9 months, but there was like a 2 month window where I didn't attend a session. Hoping I don't have to restart the 6-months.

I have UHC. Policies vary even within the same health system. My policy didn't give a wooty-toot-toot whether I lost weight during my 6-month supervised period or gained weight! Sometimes a doctor's office staff can (in good faith) share the wrong information, so find out what YOUR actual policy states. Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask member services to clarify your policy for you. Are you getting the bypass?
Write to me privately. I might be able to help you navigate other policy details.

Really? That gives me so much hope!! I feel like the 6 months will drag and take forever and it really brings me down sometimes. I just wish I could start my life up again (in a healthier way) sooner than later. I’m in NY - I noticed you said Oxford :). Best of luck to you on your journey!

Just had my first appointment last month. They checked my insurance and I’m good to go, however if you’re a UHC person you know all about that exciting 6 month supervised diet thing. They told me all I have to do is weigh in once a month. That’s it. They’re not even asking me to diet. What I’m concerned about is, if UHC sees I’ve gained any weight will they deny my operation? The doctors office seems so nonchalant about it all I’m trying to figure out if it’s really this easy? My BMI is 41 btw.
