My last weigh in is Thursday. 6 month diet was a complete waste of time.

I weighed in earlier this month (to get on birth control with my gp) and I was down to 265. I know it was because I had food poisoning 2 nights before and had it coming out both ends for those 2 days.

I'm nervous because I go in Thursday for my last appt with my NUT. I weighed today and I'm back up to 270. I started my 6 months at 275.

Do you think my insurance will take my weight at any point during the month or does it have to be the last day of my 6 months? Does that make sense?

I'd rather then see I lost 10 pounds rather than 5. Even though my weight is back up. Honestly I don't see how it makes a difference for the approval process.

I could see how it could make a difference for the actual surgery, but I'll be required to be on a 2 week liquid diet- which I'm sure I'll lose some.

Thoughts? Thanks

My surgeon's insurance coordinator told me that my insurance will go with my very first weigh-in, but every plan is different. It would be worth calling your surgeon's office and asking, if you are concerned about it.

My insurance coordinator told me as well that it won't be a problem as long as there isn't a net gain.
