Consultation appointment scheduled



Recommended Posts

I was just called and scheduled my consult appointment for Sept -10th and my psych eval for October 7th. She said all my insurance requires is a form proving I've tried to lose weight for 6 months on my own . How do prove this? I have had gym member ships and doing slim fast and I did weight watchers earlier this year but how do prove it?

You have to go to your doctor for 6 months. They document everything from how much weight u gain or lose each time. Plus, they give you diet and exercise plans.

I'm speaking from what I just had to go thru to get approved for insurance. It was a long list!! Fortunately, had been going to dr on a monthly basis complaining about my weight. I was a ahead of the game with that part. Good luck to you.

@@tssiemer - you can prove your weight loss efforts because WW has attendance records and if you have a gym membership and can prove you took either some classes (spinning, zumba, Water aerobics) you can probably use that as well, I did something very similar.

Most insurances require documentation from a doctor but you can ask your plan what they need. Call and ask to clear your mind for what yu need to provide! Good luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
