Patient must be enrolled in and have participated in an organized weight loss programfor a period of at least six months prior to surgery. The weight loss program does nothave to be physician directed. Does myfitnesspal.com count? Or does it have to be like WW, TOPS, etc? Anybody know?
Some insurance companies allow WW, but I don't beleive myfitnesspal will work. They will also take a certified nutrionist or your family doctor if you see they once a month for six months.
