I have BCBS of Pennsylvania Insurance and I have a 6 month period where I have to be trying other things to lose weight. BTW they said if I had done other things in the past 2 yrs I can put that on file. I was wondering how could I get around that. I have done every diet out there. I am shooting for December to do the surgery.

If your insurance require it, u have to do it, or u can do self pay. Do u have any dieting that u done that was documented by your provider? BCBS most of them require a 6 month medically supervised diet. Meaning through a doctor. Some will take dated pictures or programs like weight watchers.

See if any other appointments count...I have BCBS of Iowa and I had to do the six month diet too, but my coordinator has a really good relationship with the insurance company and they counted my initial surgery consult and my meeting the next month with my NUT as two months so I only had to do the actual dieting for four months. Good luck!

Thanks for all the replies..I found out today that my insurance company will not cover the surgery at all... :( :( :( :(
