Weight Management (Weight Loss/gain)

[sharoncarrie 49]

Hello all! I am coming up to my 3rd & final weight loss management class. I am having to have my PCP weigh me after each class & fax it over to my surgeon's office. On my last weight management weigh in I was up 5 lbs from my first weigh in. Now Im afraid that the insurance may deny me for gaining while on the 3 month weight management program. I am dieting like crazy so I can be down some on my final weigh in on August 9th.

Do insurance companies get paticular in the weight gain or loss during those 3 months? I'm unfamilair with this.

Thank you for your insight!

I had to do a 6 months supervised nutritionist appointments and from the first time I got weighed until the last time I couldn't weigh more or it was an automatic denial. Some I get very anal about weight gain. They look at it as if u can lose or at least manage to stay at the same weight then u won't be a good candidate. It is hard. Just stay positive, up or Protein and exercise and you'll be okay good luck

Thank you for letting me know. I've gained 5 pounds on this past weigh in so I want to make sure Im down at least that much at my last weigh in on August 9th! It can be frustrating..

I gained 6 lbs on my final weigh in and my insurance company ok'ed my surgery. They know why we need the surgery. I kinda went crazy and ate everything I wanted bc I knew I wouldn't be able to eat my faves again. Now I'm 2 weeks out and 21 lbs lighter. So happy. Good luck to you on your journey.
