6 month pre-op diet

[ndtman 4]

I don't have the same insurance as you. I have Coventry here in Kansas but it sounds like we have similar requirements,

My insurance required among multiple labs:

6mo supervised dieting

sleep study

psy eval (ended up being 2 visits) lol they have to do a pre assyment and submit it to insurance in order to get insurance to pay for the auctuial.

2 visits to a nutritionist (something I really enjoyed FYI) I learned a lot

BMI over 35 with comorbidity

thyroid check

pepsid ulcer check (either treated or ruled out) Dr. tried to simply rule it out insurance said no so I had to have a blood test for this.

Pulmonary Function Test

That seems about it, I know there where more labs but heck I don't remember what all they were lol. I really think insurance does this to weed out the people that are not willing to put a little hard work in to get all this stuff done. I was discouraged a couple times but I had made up my mind to change my life and remembering that pushed my to do it.
