6months not 7

I am just always one of those 2nd guessers. Worry Warts, may have you! haha. I got a letter saying I was eligible for surgery. I completed my steps of 6 months diet program & psychologoical eval. I was told I may have to do a 7 month for weight loss (from the surgeons office) so it was a complete 6 months, not just 6 months of recorded weights. However all that was submitted was 6 months of recorded weights, and I was still approved, so I was wondering if they would turn around and deny me, if I didn't have 6 full months of weight loss.

Usually it is six months of the diet, so seven visits to the doctor for that. 

When you say you were approved, you mean your insurance approved you?  Without having done the sleep study yet?

Yes, My surgeon called me to tell me I was approved for the Gastric Sleeve & I got a copy of the letter they sent to the surgeon saying I was eligible for the service. My insurance does not require a sleep study for the gastric sleeve, my surgeon does.
