jfzimmerman 50 Posted July 28, 2015 My insurance required 3 months of a doctor led program with also seeing a fitness specialist and psychologist. It felt like six months! lol! But it was worth it...it gave me time to adjust to my decision and lose a little weight before surgery. And my insurance approved me without any problems.

MoniqueMcCoy 20 Posted July 29, 2015 I'm curious did everyone have to do the 6 month nutrition program ? Prior to surgery ? I am currently starting the long process and August 5 I meet my surgeon I had to do a whole year and I'm glad I did it and it was worth it, it seemed like forever but it came quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
