Weightloss monitoring?

[mrsaizsha_101 23]

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!

Yes if you can get some paper logs on weightins and meal plans...and weight watches even works now.....join me on Facebook mychic matters...questions blogs videos etc...

Ok I will... I did herbal life so I will make sure I have the trainer note my weihh ins, meal plans, and assisted medications I used at the time. So u have submitted similar documents and it was approved?

Mine requires 4 months of monitoring. My question is how much should I try to lose during this time?

[jenniferg2013 7]

Are you required to keep a written record of eating and exercising?

It didnt specify, I just know that it said I had to have weightloss monitoring for 6mnths

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?
