Does that mean 6 dr. visits or 7? If I had my 1st diet appt. on April 1, my second on May 1 and so on would I have to have the last one on Aug. 1 (6 visits) or Sept. 1 (7 visits)? In other words do I have to actually BE ON the diet for 6 full months or just have 6 visits? Does that make sense?

And in your experience are the insurance companies sticklers for the "within the last 2 years" requirement? I ask because I have some diet visits from April-Aug. 2009 and I'm wondering if my surgery is not scheduled until like May or June would they still count those from 2009?

I don't think this is a silly question! I want to know the answer too!! I only have to do 3 months so if its the 3 visits vs 4 visits I can have my surgery as my b-day present to myself!! BUMP

My understanding is 6 Dr appointments - I have seen people say you can do one at the end of one month like say April 30th and then have your last one on Sept 1st and that counts. I have also heard someone say to schedule your appointments ever 25 days instead of 30. I think the main thing is 6 calendar months April May June July August September - not necessarily the dates.

Good info, kind of wish I would have known about this beforehand, but I will make it work.
