6 Month Diet

I was told by the insurance company that I have to go to PCP for 6 months for weight management. Any advice on what to do? Not to do..or what to ask?

      The first visit in June counts as one of your 6 months. At least it did here in KY. Godspeed!

      I just finished my 6 month diet. First weigh-in appt didn't count. My nutritionist said I just needed to weigh less at the end than I did at the beginning. Make sure you get all of your other pre-s

    Make sure you have them measure your height. I always thought I was 5'5-5'6 and I'm really 5'3 which helps because it made my BMI go up.

    Same thing happened to me! I always thought I was 5'10. Turns out I am 5'8.5. I feel short now. <_<

    Did you have to give your doctor paperwork to fill out each time?

    Yes, my surgeon's office gave me a form to give to my PCP. They made 6 copies of it and we filled it out each month.
