6 month diet

[sp56 0]

I am looking for a Dr. in Lincoln who can document my 6 month diet. I have to have this for insurance and have already done one 6 month diet that was not done correctly and want it done right this time,

I would try going to the regional support groups (further down the main group page) and asking this question there. There may be more people there in Nebraska who are better able to answer your question.

I also had to do the 6 month diet for my insurance, and I went to the dietician on the bariatric team who will be adivising me on pre and post-op diet. For a small fee ($35 in my case) she set up the program and she documented my weight every two weeks. I finally finished it in mid January and she sent me paperwork to take to my PCP to sign off and mail back. Then it went to insurance. I have been waiting 3 weeks for insurance approval (seems longer than the 6 month diet). My PCP sent me for a stress test and echocardiogram (I work for Cardiologists, so I had them done at work--no out-of-pocket charges, just what insurance paid). If you have picked out a surgeon, check with their office and see if the dietician will supervise the 6 month diet for you. Good luck.
