I have to do a 6 month diet for my insurance,I went to the doc and weighed in for the last three months would that count as part of my 6 month diet or do I have to startover after I go to my seminar tommorrow?

Did you just weigh in? Or did they have you on a diet?

I have been on a diet since january but only weighing in for last three months

Then it should count for the last 3 months as long as your doctor was keeping the records for it! That means only 3 more months! Make sure you dong skip a month though.

I didnt have to do that (luckily) but I did learn from my insurance provider that if they req'd it the proof would be from your doctors notes in your file. So, make sure your doctor is making notes about your weight and comments about diet, excercise, etc. So, if your doc has noted it (or will go back and make sure, it might fly.

I went to my family doctor every month to weigh in for 6 months. Only to find out that those visits didn't count and I was denied. I then went to a nut that specialized in weight loss surgery, she had me keep journals of my feelings, my food, my exercise...anything that had to deal with my struggle of being over weight. I did this for 6 months. After finishing with her and she submitted the paperwork to the insurance, I had to appeal the first denial and was approved in a month and had surgery within 2 weeks there after. So I suggest going to a nut that is familiar with weight loss surgery. good luck to you

wow thats terrible! My insurance would have accepted anything from any doctor as long as it was documented. During my 3 month diet all I had to go was go there and weigh in. I didnt have to do any of the stuff that you were required to do. I think it all depends on the insurance!
