I am in my 5th month of my 6th month supervised diet with my doctor. I weigh 260 and have lost nothing in the 5 months. I do go up and down but pretty much my body likes that weight of 260. I am curious if this is going to effect Insurance approval or if my doctor is going to tell me that I needed to lose weight during the 6 months. I am struggling so much with this. I know my doctor thinks I'm a super slacker. What to do, what to do......

Well my insurance says I have to complete the 6 months WITHOUT EXCESSIVE weight loss so I haven't lost anything im actually 3 lbs heavier than where i started

Only if your insurance says you have to then it shouldn't be a factor in your approval or if your surgeon says you have to. Good luck!

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in my 4th month. During my second month lost 5 lbs and went back third month and gained ten....This is the story of my life everytime I lose weight I gain twice that back. I am also a stress eater, so the pressure Im feeling in the 6 months is not helping at all. But as long as the doc is notating well you should be good, but some insurances do have a stipulation of 10% weight loss...Call your insurance company and ask. I like to get the info straight from them and call twice to make sure Im getting the right info. Good too you and just stay Prayed Up!!!

Neither my dr or insurance required me to lose weight before surgery, as a matter of fact I actually gained a few before surgery ( not saying you should gain ) I would call my insurance company and find out if they require you lose and ask your dr. if he requires it.
