Does everyone have to do a six month diet' date=' or is it certain insurance companies that require it? What about BCBS? Anybody know? Thanks![/quote']

Fed bcbs requires three months supervised diet and one nutrition visit. I had 3 nutrition visits which qualified for requirements

Why do the ins. Companies do that? Are they hoping it will discourage people from the surgery? Because once its approved you get a pre-op diet anyway, right? And isn't that the purpose of the surgery?

I truly believe the counseling is a good way to prepare you for what's ahead. To throw yourself into this drastic life change without some help in understanding the best way to succeed. I really enjoyed my dieticians visits, although I did resent them at first.

Ok, that's cool. Didn't realize it was a counseling thing, too. Kinda makes sense when you look at it that way.
