I am trying to figure this out and forgot to ask at my surgeon appointment, If my first visit was July 31,2012 and my insurance requires 6 months of Nutritionist visits when would my surgery be? I can't figure out if July counts as the first and my date would be in Dec.? Or does Aug. appoint count as first month and surg. would be in Jan. I think I am so excited I want it to be in Dec and am talking myself into it! Thanks Heather

Be careful you get all your appts! I had to do an extra month because I was seen at the end of feb and the beginning of April. Although it was two appts within 30 days, it only counted as 5 visits. Luckily the coordinator at the hospital caught it and had me do one more month. Because she did I was approved. I had even asked my pcp at the time and was told it was ok. Compliance was everything in getting approved the first go round. Good luck!

Im in the same road. My visit was july 31 so that one i made one for the last thrus of every month until dec 22 thats my last one. So its 6 months but just to be sure im going to go in the beggining of jan. My secound appt is in jan 5 so then ill kno my surgery date. Hey tip low carb in dec is the best because like that ur doc wont put such stress on ur pre diet..
