Stupid Question- How long is 6 months?

I'm starting my 2nd month of my 6 mo. diet. I just noticed my ticker counted the days differently than me (faster). I've been scheduling my PCP weigh ins on on 10th of each month, but do I have to be that exact? Can your visits be less than 30-31 days apart? If I started Nov. 10 can I end May 1st or does it have to be May 10 (have BCBS Highmark PPO Blue-Western PA).

The reason I'm asking is it just dawned on me:der: that both my daughter (college) and my oldest son (H.S.) will both be graduating right about the time my surgery will probably be scheduled...that means huge graduation parties at my house, house-guests, and prep for weeks.:angry_smile: A week earlier would help a lot. Thanks!

I am not sure, but I have Blue Shield of California and I started the 6-month supervised diet January 2008. I went once a month and the primary care doctor did not submit my information to the insurance company until August 2008, which to me is 8-months of supervised dieting.
