Questin about # of appointments for 6 months diet???

[TxJuneBug08 1]

Okay.... I started my 6 months of supervised diets at the end of October (1st WL visit) . I went the end of November (2nd WL visit), end of December(3), beginning of February(4), beginning of March (5) and will go in a few days April (6). Each time I go the next appointment gets put back a little more than a month, more like a month and 5 or so days. At my last appointment my PA said I only had one more visit. I though I had 2 left, one at the beginning of my 6th month (April) and then another at the END of the 6th month. So, my question is... on the six month supervised diet do peole usually just go at the beginning of the six months or do they have to go at the end of the last month too???

Thanks!

Shari,

It is my understanding that you HAVE to have 6 visits which document your height, weight, the diet regimen you are following as well as any exercise. However, depending on when you started, it may actually take you 7 months. I was really trying to clear this up for you but now I'm not sure I've cleared anything up!

My advice to you is to write down all the dates you saw your provider, call your insurance company and let THEM tell you if you're done or not. Better safe than sorry!!

Good Luck!
