Medical Mutual (Supermed ...

Sherry, Hi! Thanks for the information. I already had my physo. evaluation done. I also have my five year weight history. I also have a letter from my family doctor stating that I would benefit from the surgery. I am go to Middletown Hospital. My doctor is Dr. Singh. I had to take physical therapy, see the nurtr. and the nurse before they can submit to medical mutual. I am done with my physical therapy, I go on 3-9-04 to see the nutri. and the nurse. And after that, they will submit to medical mutual. I only have a BMI of 37, with high blood pressure, leg, back and hip problems. I have talked to alot of people, and they have said that I will have a hard time getting approved with such a low BMI. I will keep you updated. Michelle

Do they require you to see a nutritionalist? Has anyone had the physician supervised weight loss waived due to BMI and necessity? If I have to do the 6 month weight loss my surgery can be pushed all the way to October of this year instead om May or June.
