It may depend on the insurance. I had plenty comorbs and still the insurance & my docs wanted a list of my unsucessful diet programs. I guess they want you to consider surgery as your last resort.

I agree with Karla...mine was the opposite experience. I could have been on a million diets and they didn't care, so long as I had at least 2 co-morbids.

It will first depend on the insurance, then on whether your PCP or surgeon is a stickler.
