I am new to this website! I have a question. I start my 6 month supervised diet within the next two weeks, and I was curious as to how it works. My BMI is about 43~ and if I were to lose around 15-20 pounds my BMI would be under 40. If I were to drop less than 40 BMI( I do not have any co-morbiditys) would they still follow through with my surgery. The last thing I want to do is go through 6 months of supervised diets just to be denied by my insurance.
