 here it is verbatim    

"Per Policy Bulletin S-131A insurance requires BMI of >35 with at least one co-morbid condition, minimum two year history of morbid obesity, 6 month PCP diet or 3 month multi-disciplinary diet, exercise and behavior modification program with neither supervised by the surgeon and psych evaluation.  Sleeve and StomaphyX are investigational and not covered."

Im curious about the "multi-disciplinary diet' part.  what does that mean?
