i know "someone" who has this ins and its not actually 6mos you have to do its 3 out of the last 6mos of supervised diet excersize and bahavior modification. the first time she was denied stating there was not enough documentation from the md but the second time she "made up" her own excersize chart and eating chart staying below 1200 calories per day. if we "try" to lose wight i bet we all could do it....if we "try" what the ins co wants to see is if you can lose 30% of your body weight..also when she resubmited after going back to the dr again she wrote a little letter about herself and what things she has tried etc...she was approved in 2 days!! email me if you would like chantaymarie71@aol.com

Yep, that's the requirement. If you've done a medically-supervised diet within the last couple of years, though, it should count. When I had everything sent to insurance, I hadn't been on a diet within a year, but I did do a medically-supervised phentermine diet for all of 2005, and First Health counted that as my diet attempt. So, they are willing to bend a little.
