In my other post I was dreading talking to my PCP about weight loss surgery and actually worked myself up for nothing! He referred me to my supervised diet which is an 18 week program then I have 2 phsyc eval then I get the final referral to the surgeon. All I am hoping now is that I dont have to do a 6 month diet for my insurance company. The 18 week program is just for my medical group. hmm hope not!! Excited to start this journey and hoping next year will be a great new chapter (if everything goes well)

Have you called your insurance company yet to find out what their requirements are? This way you are prepared for whatever you need to do.

I will do that today !

Hi, im at the beggining too. Hoping to be sleeved by early next year as well. Best wishes to you

yes same here! I start my classes next week on the 5th and I found out that my insurance company leaves the decision up to my Medical group. Have you started your classes or 6 month diet yet?

Yes. I actually started a while back with my PCP. After my first visit with the surgeon, i was told that I must start all over because the visit had to be for 6 consecutive months. So far I've only had one diet visit my second is in a few weeks.

I'm on my fourth month of supervise diet can't wait for it to be over .. Thankful that I had not gained any weight I lose some matter of fact ...

Awh isg thats a bummer! I made sure I researched and re-researched to make sure I did not have to do it twice.

ebonisekim: Thats awesome. I only have to do 4.5 months and im hoping to not gain any as well
