WEIGHT GAIN? 6 MONTH NUT VISITS.

[pleezeSleeve 50]

Has anyone gained weight during nutrition visits?

I think I effed up. I gained 10lbs between my consult with the surgeon and second nutrition visit.

I explained to her the very devastating loss of a family member... and also how I wanted to kinda .. "eat my last junk foods".

since then, I have lost 6lbs. I plan on being down even more when we meet again in 2 weeks.

Basically I'm terrified the insurance will deny me because of the 10lb gain- even though I lost it back and more.

Has anyone been through this or heard of this? What happened? thanks!

Check with your insurance company. I gained 4lbs after my second visit and I was freaking out but I called my insurance company (United Healthcare) and they told me there was no weight loss requirement during my supervised diet. I met with the surgeon last week and I asked him about it also. He said it's fine.

I think the issue is usually if there is a net gain between first visit and submitting to insurance....so if you lose it now, you might be fine?
