I have my last medically supervised weigh in on Monday, 10/13 and I'm so excited/nervous/ready! It's been 4 months and I gained 4 pounds the first month, loss 11 pounds the second month, stayed the same the third month and have lost 4 pounds this month. I have United Healthcare. Does any one think I'll have an issue with my final surgery approval? I'm just so nervous because I don't know what they expected of me so I'm just curious what others experienced.

Thank you!

this is a common theme, it seems. i suggest you call your insurance company and have them send you their requirements, as every plan is different. i did, and it was very clear and straightforward. good luck!

Okay, perhaps I should be more clear. My doctor's surgical coordinator confirmed my insurance covers the surgery and we received the guidelines from my insurance company in order to start the process. Their requirements were one psychological exam, one nutritional visit and four months of a medically supervised weight loss plan. I have met all except the last visit to the doctor. My question is, has anyone, once meeting all the requirements, been denied after not being very successful on the supervised diet plan or, are they not looking for any measure of weight loss success.

Thank you again in advance.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
