I have BCBS of Pennsylvania Insurance and I have a 6 month period where I have to be trying other things to lose weight. BTW they said if I had done other things in the past 2 yrs I can put that on file. I was wondering how could I get around that. I have done every diet out there. I am shooting for December to do the surgery.

If your insurance require it, u have to do it, or u can do self pay. Do u have any dieting that u done that was documented by your provider? BCBS most of them require a 6 month medically supervised diet. Meaning through a doctor. Some will take dated pictures or programs like weight watchers.

See if any other appointments count...I have BCBS of Iowa and I had to do the six month diet too, but my coordinator has a really good relationship with the insurance company and they counted my initial surgery consult and my meeting the next month with my NUT as two months so I only had to do the actual dieting for four months. Good luck!
