I done the same thing. My story is almost the same as yours. Started in July and just knew I would have this done by the end of the year. Then

they came up with the 6 month diet and I have missed one in Oct. So I spoke to the insurance and they said I need Jan and Feb to be complete and I hopefully can have it done in March. I was so hurt and upset. There has been several people in my office that have had the lap band and they did not have to have the 6 month diet....This must be something new. Oh well, I am looking very forward to March. Good luck to you. Just wanted to let you know you where not the only one.

Hi Tena,I was looking at your Blog and you were talking about the 6 months diet that the doctors have us on,Its the Insurance company,some of them require that we are to go on the 6 month diet program,and some of the ins.co don't require it,thats what gets to me,I am up for my 1st appointment on Janurary 10th

I havn't seen the neutrisinist or the dietition but after the siminar I was told that I had to do this and I started when I left then and I was glad that I did because I have 3 months down and 3 to go,I am hoping that the Insurance tell me that I don't have to do it,I wont look at it as if I waisted my time but as if this is something I needed all the time but guess what I DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT EITHER...camille01
