Christenb180 20 Posted August 10, 2016 I just finished with my last NUT visit, I too had to do 6 months supervised weight loss and I actually gained 10 pounds in the 6 months. Good thing my insurance doesn't require me to lose weight or I would be screwed. I will say this don't be so hard on yourself try your best and just stay focused on the end goal and that's Surgery. Good luck! This is exactly what I'm going through right now! My insurance requires 6 months of dietitian appointments and my last one is August 18. My insurance does not say I have to lose weight but just show that I've had unsuccessful attempts at weight loss. I have gained weight, too, since my initial appointment and am worried I'll be denied. Have you been approved by your insurance yet? I'm glad I'm not the only one that has gained a bit. It seems like everyone else has no trouble losing weight during the 3- or 6-month period before their surgery. I'm envious! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I got the insurance approval on the 29th of july and it only took about 7 days for them to approve it, then the surgery center called me that next wednesday and gave me a surgery date of August 29th.
