How many Supervised Weigh-loss visits did your insurance require?

I have BCBS of Iowa and was told I have to do 6 months of supervised weight-loss visits and 1 NUT visit?

Anyone hear anything different?

    United Healthcare, no diet requirements except for the pre-op, I'm a newbie, have not even started the pre-op. My surgery is July 9th, thinking about starting this week..... I should but will I.... I decided to have the operation in Febuary, had to fulfill the recommended doctors visits the hospial required, not my insurance.... I guess they wanted to make sure I was up to speed and really wanted it... The psyc, the dietician, my doctor, their doctor, .... First I thought everyone wanted a piece of the pie, but then I figured in the long run I would be close to being on top....

    I wish you luck, over weight in Nebraska......
