help needed but not urgent

Okay I can't figure this out, chalk it up to a bad upset stomach and headache but it's driving me crazy, for insurance purposes I have to go for six months to weigh****chers and I started on june 28th, 2008 when is six months completed....thanks for helping me...can't concentrate with this headache....

The end of december will be the end of your 6 months.  are you going to your pcp for them to record your monthly weight????  you may want to check with dr averbach's office and your insurance to make sure you don't need verification from your pcp also.  don't want anything delaying the start of the new you....good luck

Hi Char

That would mean you would finish your 6 month WL the end of December. Then Dr. A's office would submit the paperwork for you to get an approval of course pending you completed the physcological eval and nutritionist.  I would check with them and see if you could get your phsyc eval and nutritionist eval the last month of your 6 month weight loss program that way they can submit it all to the insurance company and schedule your surgery in January that way you could probably get a Jan date or Feb date for surgery.

Hope this makes sense

I have my mental evaluation scheduled for 9/15, my NUT appt is october 29th...

my insurance says they accept Weigh****chers as my six month monitored program....thank you all...I couldn't figure it out! sheesh, my brain is not working right now...

Hi Char,
Be sure that you have a weight recorded in writing at least once in each calendar month, or many insurances would say that it wasn't 6 consecutive months.  That happened to me and delayed me by another 6 months.  Here's hoping you get approved in Dec and scheduled after the holidays! 

I just wanna say that December will be here before you know it!!

thanks.....I am a lot closer then when I started this in may! LOL

char, mine is a 3 mth program at franklin square twice a week one night exercising which i dont know how thats going to work the way i get cramps and hurt lol , but i will persavere lol cant spell i know it i know it lol and the other is a class on the nutr. and wls , dont like going out at night but i will, mine ends @ end of noveber doc said surgery should be 4 to 5 weeks afterwards hope they can pu**** for end of dec so i dont have to do the insurance thing all over either way we both are  closer to the loosers bench.

thanks all...at WW they give you this booklet that tells the date and how much you weigh each time you go...I get weighed once a week...

I just finished my 6th month yesterday, turned everything into Dr. A's office this morning.  So I'm ready to go to insurance now.  I'm so hoping I get approved and can get my surgery in Oct, early Oct.

Good luck in your 6 months!
