I have Aetna and I printed out a big article they had on their website about the weightloss options.....let me dig that out.....ok, here we go...and I quote: "a.  consultations with a dietician or nutritionist; and b.  Reduced-calorie diet program supervised by dietician or nutritionist; and c.  exercise regimen (unless contraindicated*or you can't move*) to improve pulmonary reserve prior to surgery, supervised by exercise therapist or other qualified professional; and d.  Behavior modification program supervised by qualified professional; and e.  documentation in the medical record of the member's participation in the multidisciplinary surgical preparatory regimen." Now I went with the 6 month diet plan (that really ended up being 9 months LOL ask me about that one later) and I had my dietician fax over my entire file to the surgeon's office and that was acceptable. I hope this helps! Aaron
