six month medically supervised weight loss not losing



Recommended Posts

I feel so bad because I gained 5lbs during my supervised six month weight loss program. does anyone know if this could be grounds for my insurance Humana, to deny me? my dietician has given me positive reports because I have made some changes such as giving up pop.

I didn't lose any during my weight management. After I completed the 6 month requirement, I developed my own plan and am down 21 pounds. 30 more and I'm given the green light :)

If anything, I think it would be grounds for them to approve you, since you've now demonstrated that traditional supervised programs aren't effective. Clearly you need something more drastic.

Thanks Everyone for the replies. That makes sense if I loose they may not approve my procedure. I go see the psychologist at the end of October then I will have all my requirements completed for the office to send into my insurance! This was my first posting as I am a newbie on here. I am so glad I found this sight as I was really nervous and unsure when I began this journey, but after reading all the posts I am excited....still a long way to go thru the process that's if I get approved.:)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
