Doing my 1st week of 6 month supervised diet.. Not self paying for surgery this time, Insurance is covering the surgery after I meet the last and final requirement of a 6 month diet. Hopefully the time will pass quickly. so far so good!

Hang in there. It will be here before you know it.

@@ojibway, this is good news.

Please provide some info, as I've gotten the impression that most medical plans don't pay or a second WLS. I'm banded and may have to have my band removed, in which case I'd like sleeve. What was your first surgery and, if you weren't covered then, what is different now? What makes a revision necessary? I realize you may have been without coverage at the time of your first WLS, which may or may not invalidate my questions. Thanks.

Sorry I should've been more concise, I was scheduled for Surgery in Jan, 2015 (self-pay) and backed out last minute, tried losing weight on my own, not much success. Re-scheduled surgery Nov 2015 (again self pay) then found out our insurance was going to cover Bariatric Surgery in 2016. I have all my tests and requirements completed for them to approve surgery except the 6 month supervised diet.. sorry

@@ojibway, that's great. Nothing to be sorry about at all. It worked out for you. I'll just find my answers in other pastures.

. I'm also going through the 6 month supervised diet for insurance. I started mine on January 14 2016. Good luck. I hope our time passes quickly!

I'm also starting my process must meet with my nutritionist and the surgeon this coming Tuesday, feeling pretty excited, wishing us all a safe a happy journey! ????

I have one more visit on February 12th to meet my criteria! Time will fly by!

Wow, that insurance situation worked out well, didn't it.

Very best to you.

Awesome I started mine Jan.21 Hopefully time will fly. Congrats and Good Luck

I just started my 6 month supervised diet today. I have Medicare. Good luck everyone.

The time will truly fly. I was skeptical when people told me this when I started 5 months ago... But somehow it my 6th and final nut visit is in 2 1/2 weeks and now I'm getting scared !!

Good luck dear

Awesome @@J.lynn. Wishing you all the best!

The 6 months will go by so fast! I felt like I had just started when my surgical coordinator called and gave me a surgery date, I couldn't believe it.
