Had A Date And My Insurance Wants 6 Documented Diet



Recommended Posts

I wasn't talking about you dear. Jayne mentioned her journal idea which technically would be pushing the line a bit close to the fraud side given you haven't been keeping one so far.

The six month thing is fairly common. You only have three more months to do which is better than the whole six and anything you do lose would get you closer to goal in the end :)

Exactly what I was trying to say. Thanks. Some of us have been overweight for so long and dieted for many years but just did not document it. Now it has to be documented for insurance reasons. Then again some people after their first visits their insuance company request documention from that point on for say 6 months. What I was required was the previous 6 months information which ok i did have to "guesstimate". Insurance requirement vary, and this worked for me.

Forgot to mention, not only did my insurance require the 6 months of supervised diet/weigh ins, but I also had to have my pcp send in the last 5 consecutive years worth of weights. I don't have a pcp, but thankfully I'm very good at seeing my OB every year, and that was acceptable. Just an idea of other things insurance companies might require.

That is true I am using my obgyn for my weight requirement. I went in every 2 weeks till I was 21 weeks prego and my weight was got everytime with what I needed to eat and not eat like bread. So for me it was a life saver. Lol I now have 9mths of supervised weight lose and gain. Good luck to you

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
