Medical Mutual Diet

I have been on my six month dr surpervised diet for Medical Mutual. I have been following the low carb diet faithfully and exercising. And guess what??? I have lost a total of 8 pounds. I only have one more month left and I'm afraid that I'm not going to lose enough to please the insurance company. I'm on 1000 calories and my PCP said that he could have told me and the insurance company that I wouldn't be losing much because that is one of the reasons why I need RNY. Anyone have any comments? Has anyone ever been told that there was a magic number of pounds that needed to be lost for approval?

I only lost 16 pounds on mine.  I think they are more concerned that you try and that you do not gain any weight.  Unless they have a certain weight listed in their policy, they really could not enforce a certain "pounds lost" requirement.  Good luck!
