Introduction and a question

Hi everyone. Hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm pre-op and just getting everything started. I'm in the metro Detroit area going to Henry Ford Hospital for RNY. I did the one year supervised diet from March 2012 to March 2013 and then I didn't go through with the rest of the process. My insurance (HAP) wants you to have done a 6 month supervised diet in the last 2 years. Do you think they will count the one I did before or will I have to go through it again? I have an appointment August 13 with my primary to get a referral and I will ask her then, but I am curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation and how they handled it? TIA!

You would have to ask your insurance company.  If you call them and ask, they should be able to tell you.  

Agreeing with Gwen. Every insurance co seems to have different rules, and only they can tell you whether or not you have to do it all again. 

Regardless, best of luck to you, and congrats on your first steps to a new life!

If you insurance requires six months within the last two years, then the diet in 2012 will probably not count.  Go into this with the attitude that you will do everything it takes and follow up on every detail.  Sticking to the six month diet will help you to be healthier for the surgery and get you into eating more like you will after your surgery.
