Hi, I am new to this forum. I went to a Weight Loss Seminar on October 1st, as I am looking into getting the Gastric Sleeve Surgery, I have my first consultation with the surgeon on Monday, Oct. 6th. I will be going through the normal insurance hoops, so likely won't be until the spring when I will be able to have the surgery. I am wondering what the parameters are for this "supervised diet plan" that is required by the insurance company. Through my dietician and edocronologist I started a low carb diet back in June and my AIC went down from 11.5 to 7.2 by August. I didn't lose any weight on this diet, but my docs are very happy that my A1C has gone down so much. So would June be considered the "start" to my supervised diet plan?
Thanks in advance for your help!
