Oh really.. mine just says: Physician-supervised diet must be documented within the last 2 years prior to approval.

But I do have doctor documents showing obesity from 2007... I have them ready for my first appointment.

Yes I did a six month program and 3 month food specialist. It was long long long. Now I am ready for surgery.

Yes I also have to do 6 month diet, but I was told that u could use documentation from prior weight loss programs as long as they were done within last 5 years. Idk have any of u heard this? I have tried plants of different programs but none of them were done 6 months consecutively.

I gave all ofy documentation also they hade see a nutritionist for six months. It wasn't terrible, I was just so anxious to be done.

[HoustonTexanFan 6]

Yea I assumed I would probably still have to do 6 month program. I to an excited an anxious an dont want to have to wait 6 more months!

Believe me I know how that goes I couldn't wait for the appointments to be over and done with
