90 Day weight loss program? Requirement

[kaypitre5 28]

Quick question.. any one of you all had to do a 90 day weight loss program as a requirement from the insurance? If so, what was it like? & how soon after were you able to schedule your surgery date?

Im in my 3rd month out a 6 month program, all you do I'd journal your food entry's and weigh in with the nutrionist every month then once complete they submit your file to insurance and surgery usually schedule a month after last visit.

I had to do 90 days, i saw a nutritionist once a month. Each appointment she taught me something new. I weighed in and then we discussed the changes i needed to make in my diet in phases. Each appointment was more information. I gained weight the 1st month like 6 lbs. Then I lost the same 6 lbs by the end of the 90 days. She was great.

But according to my surgeons office there's no magic number. The reason for the surgery is because we already have difficulties losing weight to begin with. I think I was harder on myself than she was. But it was a big eye opener. I loved my NUT. I cried on my last visit. Every thing was all of a sudden real.
