Hi! I am 4 1/2 months into the supervised diet. There was recently a policy change regarding the sleeve with my insurance. So, I called to verify what I was reading. The rep went over it with a 2 supervisors and called me back a few days later. I was told that the sleeve DOES NOT require a supervised diet now and to go ahead and submit all my info, including what I have completed with the diet of 4 1/2 months!!!!! I hope they are right! Everything is being put together to submit. Oh my gosh! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!

So excited for all of you! Due to insurance error at the start of the year ams lack on communication from my doctors office, I just found out the opposite, that I have to do the diet when I thought I didn't. I loved reading the excitement in this thread though. That will be me one day! ☺

Triplenmomma sounds like you and I will be going through this journey at the same time. I just had my first consultation. Need to lose 25 lbs to get my bmi down. Have to do 6 months supervised weight loss and have to have a psych eval. Had the rest of my initial labs drawn the day of my consultation.

My first weigh in/class is set for October 6th and my psych eval is October 8th. Trying to get any and all appointments out if the way early on. Don't want any last minute small things to hold me back at the end!!

Good luck on your journey and happy losing!

Teri
