I started my 6mos wls diet with my doctor in March. I went every month until June and then made a decision that I wanted to try and lose it myself rather than surgery and stopped going to the Dr. However, I got a personal trainer in June and he asked me all about my diet plans and documented my weight and diet program. Then I started going to weight watchers in July, and I know insurance companies now accept weight watchers meetings. So basically I have all 6 months of my weight documented and what diet program I followed. I have lost 32 pounds but I know that I need the band to help me continue my weight loss, and to finally maintain it for the rest of my life. I have been on diets since I was five years old and up and down my whole life and I am ready to end that demeaning process.

So basically my question is, do you think that my insurance might deny me because I have weights from different places? I should have just finished it out at the Dr. but I guess we don't always make the best decisions.

Im just nervous, back and forth on what I should do about the surgery, and second guessing myself. I know that the band is what I need, but I guess I just need some encouraging words from someone who has felt the same way.

Help!!

Every insurance has their own policies on what they will approve. I would call them and ask if your situation would be covered. That being said, my insurance requires 6 consecutive month supervised or two 3 month consecutive months with in the past 2 years. Good luck.

Every insurance is so different, the only way to really know is to bite the bullet and give them a call.
