Denied due to weight gain from Depo?

Has anyone gained weight from depo while on supervised diet??

I follow a strict nutrition plan, ecercise etc but keep gaining a lb or two a month. The nutritionist and dr both agree its from the depo. Im no longer going to get the depo shot. Im just scared ive gone through everything to get denied because of this.

Usually, it's your surgeon that requires you to lose a certain amount of weight and not your insurance. I would double check to be sure.. My insurance didn't give a crap if I'd lost weight or not, as long as I'd done the MD supervised diet for 6 months. It was my surgeon that wanted me to lose at least 10 pounds to decrease the size of my liver, which in turn can lower the risk of some complications.

Since your surgeon believes your weight gain to be because of depo, if it's their requirement they might be ok with going ahead with the procedure. Depo only stays in your system 3 months though. Depending on when your last injection was and when your surgery is planned, you might still be able to lose some weight beforehand.
