6 Months Of Supervised Dieting

[mufasas-mom 170]

again-- double check with the NEW insurance company in regards to their requirements - if you know which company your employer has planned on selecting. They MAY be able to give you a head up on if the new insurance will have a policy which includes WLS.

good luck

Okay, update...

Talked to coordinator and have my first appt with nutritionist Aug 22.

Called insurance company and found that they do NOT specify any sort of time frame, but just say that I have to have actively participated in non-surgical methods of weight loss and that the doctor must evaluate.

Spoke w/ coordinator and told her about insurance not requiring 6 mo diet, and I also told her about my insurance changing to a higher deductible plan in January, so...

She said I can just do 3-month diet and get sleeved in December!!

First thought:

I won't have that looming feeling of failure over a New Year's resolution.

Second thought:

Surgery -- is this too extreme? Do I really want to do this??

I have a few months to think... =)
