No required weight loss for my insurance, but I was also given a six month dietician requirement.

I'm another one who is glad about the six months. I've learned so much and have had time to practice new methods and habits.

I am almost finished with my 3rd of 6 month diet, it has been moving fast, I am losing about 4 pounds a month. feeling pretty good, I am finally getting used to eating at least 5 times a day! But I guess that is the norm after the surgery! Good Luck in the future!

I'm half way through insurance required to see dietitian, don't need to lose any weight. Also I have to pay for the visits.

I don't have a 6 month supervised requirement through my insurance. I just need to do the psych eval and nutrition eval. Then everything gets submitted for approval with insurance. Once approved, then I do the blood work and ekg and other tests needed for the doctor. I have BCBS of MA. They are great!

That is really quick and a lot less tests. Even though when I started I thought 6 months would never get here it really is going by fast.

I am on a 6 Month supervised diet to qualify for my surgery. Already have done a few support groups and 2 dietician visits. One more dietician visit then 2 with my primary provider, plus my psych eval and finally can meet with a surgeon!

I have United for insurance and when they first told me six months, I was discouraged but it's passing very quickly! I'm on target to meet with my surgeon in August.

I have to drop 8 pounds to qualify to move forward as a requirement as well.

I am also a little more then halfway through as I have my fourth appointment in 12 days -I literally have a countdown app on my phone lol- when I found out about the 6 month diet I was so upset i figured I can do it myself in the time so I didn't even start. I wish I started sooner cause I'd probably be getting my surgery already. It is going by super quick though
