I'd like to ask, how many times were you required (by your insurance co) to visit with the dietitian ? I finished my 6 month Dr supervised diet but he only had me meet with the dietitian once at the beginning of the 6 months to be placed in a diet. I understand the surgeon has one on their team but during the 6 months how many visits were required to get approved?

None

For me, once and it's not a private visit. The RD does a seminar but you get a binder with amazing information!!!

I saw mine twice before surgery, but like EJRN it was during group seminars....

I was required to see a nutritionist 1x.

3 times, once a month.

Thank you everyone for your input. My next step is to go to the seminar on July 13th at that point I fill out all the required paperwork required by the clinic then if they say I qualify they will schedule me at the clinic... I guess every place has a different routine.
