Weightloss monitoring?



Recommended Posts

Hey, for my insurance united health it says I have to have 6mnths of monitored weightloss. I have had a certified personal trainer for 7 months, was apart of a workout company (FIF) for 9mnths and joined a gym a yr ago. Does this qualify for weightloss monitoring?? Has anyone sumbitted references like this and be cleared?? Im unsure because they are not doctors although they are certified and incorporated. Any advice would be helpful!

Yeah I gave my case manager all the diet logs and she said OK they where good...it also depends on the doctor who is doing your surgery too...

All that should work call the office and see if you can bring all that to them...plus you need to see a physiologist within 30 of submitting your packet..

Thank u! I have not seen my bariatric doc yet bcuz their still waiting on documents from my insurance to make sure im covered even tho they already told them im covered... it sucks bcuz its just wasting more time. In the mean time im trying to do other things that would be required. Do I have to see a cardiologist? Can I do that before I see the bariatric doctor if I have a referral from my PCP?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
