6 month nutrition coach

My only requirement before meeting my surgeon for a consult is to meet with a nutritional coach by phone for 6 months. I am almost there.
It is all done by the phone and I talk to her once a week on Wed.
Well I have about 1 month and 3 weeks left. I have not lost a pound.
Is this going to hurt my chances of getting the lapband Surgery?
My weight is 240 with very high cholesterol and borderline diabetes.
My BMI is alittle over 40
I have Pacificare HMO Value Plus through Northridge medical group.
Anyone have some advice? Do they want me to loose weight and then say
"no" to the surgery...or will they see that I did'nt lose and kick me out by saying I did'nt take the 6 months of nutritional class seriously?
I am alittle confused here...Please help:)
