Hi my name is Joanne and i am wondering if any body had to have a year of med supervice diet by their doctor before their insurance would consider you for wls ? I really want to have this surgery ,my bmi is 41 and i have diabetes and high cholesterol . If this surgery helps me in the long run why do they want a dr to tell them that a have done all kinds of diets just not thru my dr. Any advice for me will help ,Thanks Joanne
