Sounds like everyone is battling their insurance agencies for this surgery! I just posed a blog that my insurance Care First Blue Cross wants you to have two 3-month structured diet programs as one of the criteria, I have one, I tried Nutrisystem last year for four months and I lost a little but immediately gained it all back. I've done WW several times but not within the two year timeframe they are looking for. I guess i could start WW online and pay for it for three months right? Any other suggestions for me?

Sorry to hear you were denied, that really stinks, I would also appeal. I had my hopes up and now I'm deflated! I have Care First Blue Cross. I was just told I have to follow 2 three month diet structured programs as one of the criteria for having the surgery, d0 other insurances make you do that? Haven't most of us already tried Weight Watcher several time (just not with the two year timeframe they want) and I did Nutrisystem for 4 months last year. Sorry, don't mean to whine but insurance makes everything so darn hard! I wouldn't have any other problem meeting the criteria..... I'm really bummed!
