    What constitutes supervised weight loss

    lisa0617 replied to lisa0617's topic in Insurance & Financing

    I will be done with all my required visits and tests minus 2 months of supervised nutrition. My coordinator is going to submit the notes I gave her but she thinks I will need a visit in nov and dec

    I had gained a lot of weight on steroids and was experiencing joint pain and my pcp sent me to a rheumatologist. I saw him for 3 years while I lost weight and came off the medication. Would this count?

    My husband was a jerk for a few weeks and then I realized the problem was I made the decision on my own and he didn't feel like I listened to him. I also saw panic when I just went for the endoscopy. He is afraid. Now he nervous about the extra skin. Help!!!

    I have a question. I am scheduled for a pulmonary endoscopy and a series of ab ultrasound bloodwork and ekg. What other tests do I have to take?

    I have to admit this makes me so sad. I feel for you. My husband complains about my weight on the back of his bike but wants me to be happy the way I am. I wish they could make up their minds.

    I am sorry you are going through a similar situation. I don't get the impression my husband feels insecure at least lately. I feel like he has one foot out the door. I will be interested to hear if he comes around after your surgery. Good luck

    What constitutes supervised weight loss

    I really hope that is true with my insurance I want surgery this year so I can work on this year's deductible not next.

    I don't really understand the mentality of people who are not supportive of their love ones. Daisy did your husband tell you why he is acting that way? I find it is causing a big distance between us. As far as other people I heard people lose friends they are treated differently at work. After my experiences I don't want to tell anyone I don't have to,

    I don't know how it affects him but I was a vegetarian for 2 years and he was miserable. I ruined his life in his words. I ask him all the time and he never has an answer that makes sense. I am going to do this because I can't win no matter what I do. A simple diet throws him off.
  10. lisa0617
    He says I will be ruining his life. He loves eating. He is afraid something will happen. He would NEVER admit to jealousy. He just needs to see it will be ok.

    Thank you for giving me the male perspective. I talk to him all the time. I believe that communication is essential in working through this. I love my husband and would never hurt him. The issue is that he thinks that I am not taking his feelings into account but he is wrong. I thought about everything. He needs to take how my life is into account. It is for both of us even though he disagrees.

    My insurance is being sketchy with my physician. They told them that the information is online but the information is vague. I am waiting for my sleep study so it may not be an issue but they want to know the criteria. I don't want to pay out of pocket if my insurance covers it.

    Congratulations on finally meeting oop. They told my dr its covered just wouldn't tell them or me criteria.

    I really hope that is what happens for me. As far as my sister she says that she is happy she had the surgery but when I try to talk to her I get the impression she is trying to talk me out of it.
  17. lisa0617
    I notice he mentions my weight now that I am starting my journey. My sister had the surgery and I get mixed messages from her. I told a woman at work and she was very supportive.
  18. lisa0617
    Thank you I will but boy would it be easier if he was on board
  19. lisa0617
    I never thought I would say this but I am going to do this for myself. If he doesn't want to be a part of it that is his choice. I am scared to be alone but he is being selfish

    Fallon faxed the criteria to my dr. I don't know what it is but at least now they know.

    The provider goes to the interqual site and answers questions and based on the answers give a denial or acceptance. The criteria is a secret because they don't want the public to know. I do billing for a Bariatric surgeon. I am going to try again next week.

    I will have my study back on Wednesday so if they don't call my physician by then I will ask to speak with a manager.

    I told my dr I wanted the sleeve and he said because of my reflux he recommends bypass. Why did you choose bypass over sleeve?

    Why did you choose bypasd?

    I have some thinking to do.
