I sure hope that's the case for me LOL. I just wish they would get rid of the 6 month (7 consecutive) supervised weight loss

It has to be 7 consecutive months....the first month is your actual starting date!

[kisersassy 369]

Ok thanks my start was April this month makes 6 and October counts 7 then insurance approval I just wish it was going by faster

My first weigh in was appointment with my family doctor April (we discussed weight loss etc but It wss not submitted as a weigh In) my first surgeon appt was june and last weigh in was Sept. I did not have to do 7 months. I also was approved very quick! Insurance coordinator faxed on Monday afternoon and Tuesday I received an email from bcbs of ia stating all was approved. Whoo Hoo! I am super excited to get this journey and my new life started!!
