6 Month Supervised Diet I Am Almost Done With... Did I Mess Up?



Recommended Posts

Ok, hopefully some people who have already been approved can tell me if I have messed up here. Due to my work situation I had to schedule my days like this:

Feb 21

March 26 (34 days apart)

April 23 (28 days apart)

May 21 (28 days apart)

JUne 25 (30 days)

July 24 (29 days)

It would just be awful if I was denied on a scheduling technicality. Anyone have any insight??

This is the schedule of appointments I had for the 6 month mandatory supervised diet. Wondering if I did something here that would cause my insurance to deny it. I think I am just panicking....

Does your policy state 6 consecutive months or monthly with no less than 30 days apart? It all depends on what your policy states but your days look fine they're not gonna fall on 30 days exactly due to weekends and holidays.

Hmmm, good question. I think they have to be at least 28 days apart, but I'm sure it varies from insurance to insurance. I've got my last appointment tomorrow and then my surgeon's office should submit the paperwork. If I find out before you, I'll let you know.

This is exactly what and ALL it says about it:

  • Documentation of participation in and compliance with a physician led multidisciplinary non-surgical program of at least 6 consecutive months in duration within the past 3 years. This includes a low or very low calorie diet, supervised exercise, behavior modification, and support, with possible medication. Actual progress notes are required. Summary letters will not be accepted.

Not sure how I am suppose to accomplish "supervised exercise". I didn't so we will see what happens. And "compliance" in the diet? How do i prove that? Ya know, we PAY for insurance, it's not like we are trying to get this for free. Shouldn't be this difficult..

Yeah, it seems to be a game that insurance companies play to make sure we don't take the "easy way out." My surgeon's nutritionist had a form she used to track all this stuff, including exercise. And she asked me about specifics on what kind of exercising I was doing, how long and how often. I mean, I don't know what it proves because I can tell them anything I want.

It is ridiculous! As far as the compliance...my coordinator told me they wanted to see that I at least made an attempt to follow a diet for 6 months. I seen on a forum some where that a lady didn't lose a lb and they denied her for being non compliant with the 6 month supervised diet. I hated doing the 6 months but it will help u in the end to get rid of old habits and adopt new ones. Give it a try u can do it:)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
