morefitlessfat 0 Posted July 13, 2013 No six month diet for me-just a nutrition appt, psych eval, two year weight history, and pre/post op counseling. My doc submitted to insurance and got approved in less than 24 hours! I have surgery on 7/18! Which state do you have Anthem through? Mine is WI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
