I haven't gone through that, but as long as you don't miss a month, you won't have to start over. The requirement, if you have to do six months, is usually "six consecutive months within the last year" or "... within the last two years".

I was wondering about this too. Although the 6 month pre-op diet should be accepted by any insurance as long as you have it documented.

My concern would be if there was a waiting period for elective surgery.

More insurances are getting away from the six-month nutrition visits. Mine, Blue Shield of California, dropped the requirement a week or so after I finished all of my requirements.

Thanks for your input!

This is just a very stressful time for me. Worrying about not getting approved and this and that. I may not even have to change plans. I just over analyze everything. It's hard when you want something so bad and you're scared its gonna fall through. :(

I have blue cross blue shield of KY and as of right now, it's still a requirement for me.

i know for my insurance i was required to be insured under my insurance for a year along with my diet plan for 6 months and have the bmi requirement
