Weight Loss Method Aitkens |  6 mo supervised diet weight loss? I'm calling the surgeon to schedule my first visit tomorrow. This ? has been rolling around in my head for some time now? I understand alot of ins co. require you to be on a 6 mo sup. diet, what if you are following it to the letter and you loose say... 10 lbs a month or so. Is the ins co going to come back and say Hey you don't need us to pay for surgery just keep doing what your doing? I am terrified this will happen to me. Has anyone out there had the same thoughts? And those of you that had to do the 6 mo diet did you loose and if so how much? Also if you don't loose very much are they going to say you're not trying? Just wondering, I have so many ? I can't wait to go to my appointment.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | 6 month diet plan Hiya, I am on the 6 month supervised diet, and first off I do know that the insurance goes by your initial BMI. I also know for most of us even if we did lose a good amount of weight in the sixth month we would still be obese. I was told by the lady who takes care of the insurance at the surgeons office, that they frown more on you not losing at all. I was told noone has ever been turned down for losing too much. Of course I am going by what I was told, I haven't gotten that far yet. I am doing my second weigh in on June 11th. So I still have a way to go. Good luck!!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | 6 mth weight loss Hi and welcome, I'm Anna, and I don't have an insurance that requires the 6 month weight loss, however I am on a board at Duke Weight Loss Surgery, and a lot of those people have to. They have not had a problem with the ins denieing once they go through the 6 mths. Most do not loss that much and that shows even more that the surgery is necessary.
