I have United Healthcare HMO and they require a six month Dr. supervised diet.

My PCP has been tracking my process,  what all does this documentation contain?

Does the weigh-ins have to be monthly or occasional.  My doctor also has me on Phentermine for weight loss and I am down from 450 to 420.  Any help would be appreciated.

It has to be six consecutive monthly weights.  The doctor's notes should also contain information on what kind of diet you are on, what drugs (such as your Phentermine), what exercise have you been doing, if you didn't lose weight - why not?....... I have been on every kind of diet with my doctor, but when I never saw him every month -- usually every six to eight weeks.  This is what I was told for my particular insurance and they all seem to be starting to follow pretty much the same pattern. Good luck.

Let's go shopping.....5'3".....320/269/140

Thanks for the info.

I just called the Dr. office and left a message about this,  they will return call as soon as Holly has a chance.

I don't think my visits have  been  consecutive (My Luck).  Thanks again.

I am so sorry, I had to reactivate the email adress again ( my personal account for WLS ). Would you please try again. You should be able to send it with all the attachments at the same time. That was not the problem, I am sorry again..... Thanks, Nahid
