medically supervised diet

[bbabydoll 0]

I am just starting. I want this so bad. My Docter called today and said my blood test came back and my thyroid is not working so he put me on Levothyroxin. He is supposed to make me an appointment with a dietition. He said I have to have a medically supervised diet for 3 moths before they will do anything else. It seems like it will take forever. What will happen if I lose weight will I be covered? or what if I don't? I am so worried. I need this so bad.

A lot of times they do the supervised diet to make sure that you are willing and ready to make changes in your eating habits. I also have a thyroid condition and have been on meds for it for over 10 years now. A hypothyroid can also cause or at least help along weight gain and inability to lose weight. Good luck and I'm sure everything will go well. :eek: Take care.

I had to do a 6 month supervised diet and it felt like it took forever but it was worth it. and don't worry about losing too much weight, I lost almost 40 lbs and my insurance approved me.
