I feel you pain! I should be a year post-op by now but after completing the insurance required 6 month Dr. supervised diet last May, I was denied! Turns out, the insurance company didn't like the way my Dr. documented the monthly visits so I had to start over again! I began by seeing my PCP again in July and he sent me to a registered dietitian, then I continued to see my PCP every month for 6 months. My PCP made sure he documented my weight, my average daily caloric intake, my weekly exercise regime, and his recommendations. after 6 months he referred me to the surgeon. The surgeon had me go back to the dietitian and then submitted everything again to the insurance. I was finally approved on March 16th and banded on April 9th! I'm 11 weeks post-op now and am so happy with the decision I made. I was a long and very discouraging wait but was well worth it! Hang in there, it won't be easy but is so worth it in the end!
