Weight Loss or Weight Management Classes - Denver, CO

[dengle 1]

I know that Kaiser in my area has weight loss or weight management classes, but not a member with them any longer. Was wondering in the Northwest Denver area where I might search for classes that will fulfill the requirement for the surgery. I haven't met with my own physician yet, but am trying to plan this out financially so that I it isn't a huge burden on me. Where have others searched as well?

Thanks!

I don't know specific to Denver but what is approved varies by insurance company. I had to do mine through my surgeons program (BS/BS). Most PCs won't do this and a lot of public plans are excluded. Call your surgeons office or insurance company and ask where to go. They should know what's approved.

most bariatric clinics run their own classes after you've been accepted into their program

if your insurance requires a six-month supervised diet, that can sometimes be done wherever (as long as it's supervised by a doctor or dietitian). I did my supervised diet before I was accepted into the surgery program, since my insurance specified that the diet be done any time within the last two years (prior to surgery). But all companies are different...
