90 day weight loss centers (that includ. behavior mod and nutr)
Hey everyone,
I need to find an affordable weight loss center that offers (or will customize to a) 12 week program. I have sleep apnea (and now use a c-pap) and a hernia (that can turn into cancer if I don't lose weight) however Aetna refuses to budge until I do this 90 day program. Of course, they don't want to pay for it either. I'm 450 lbs.
Ok. That's enough about me.
I live in Downey, CA and I am having a hard time finding such a program near my location. Does anyone know a place I should be checking out, etc? The program HAS to include behavior modification and a nutritionist.
I'm pulling my hair out. I appreciate any and all help!
Thanks

Hi,
I'm not sure I can help, but I'll try, would Weigh****chers qualify? If your surgeon isn't connected with a bariatric center I would look at local hospitals, maybe UCLA Med Center would have a Bariatric Center? They would include nut classes and counseling. Maybe a combination of the two?
Jan would probably be the one that could help she's from Glendale, so she's probably familiar with the area!
Good Luck and let us know what you find out!

I found one that surprisingly accepts insurance @ http://www.valensmedical.com/ . I am going to contact them tomorrow and ask them to get advanced approval before I go in. If they don't pan out I will pay out of pocket for this one that I found @ http://www.medicalweightlossla.com/ . I'll update this thread tomorrow.
