Diet choice for insurance requirement



Recommended Posts

Hiya, was just wondering what others have done diet wise for there 6 month diet requirement from thier insurance company.

I have been on a supervised HCG diet through a local office here in my town and can not complain about the results so far.

I ate normally throughout and did not have to lose weight

Ditto. I did nothing, I was required to not lose weight but even if I had been higher bmi I think they would have just required that I not gain anything.

Mine required a three month supervised diet, but no weight loss was required.

Does your insurance require you to lose weight or is it your doctor? You may want to look into that

I had 6 month required. No gains was the key. I lost very little. Learned so much the last 6 months. No regrets for the wait. I feel as if "I gotz this" is written across my soul. The mental prep over the last 6 months has been HUGE and helpful!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
