QQ for those with a 90 day supervised weight loss

[majorsmama 91]

If you had or are in the process of doing your 90 day medically supervised weight loss, how many appointments are/were you required to have with your dietician?

It's a total of 4 appts, you can expect to end 90 days from your 1st appt. I think each appt must be 30 days apart. Best wishes.

See that's what I'm having trouble understanding. Why 4 appts? At my initial consultation I was asked to start my diet. So today I had my first medically supervised weight loss appt and I had lost 9 lbs. So if I have to go to 4 appts, then my weight loss ACTUALLY should have started today. So I lost 9 lbs and it doesn't even matter or count towards my 90 day regimen. I don't understand why it's not 3 appts. That would be a true 90 day diet.

I understand what you're saying. I can only speak to the process I went through with Aetna insurance. My 90 day supervised diet, behavior modification clock started on appt 1 with the NUT. Though I lost weight I wasn't required to.

Yeah it was a total of 4 appointments. The first one was the beginning where we discussed my diet/exercise plans and goals, one at 30 days, one at 60 days, and one at 90 days.
