I was told by both the insurance company(medicaid) and EVERY doctors office in Indianapolis that does WLS it is 6months supervised dieting.

I called mediciad and was told this: As long as you follow what your doctor needs, you will fine.  I asked about the diet, and he said if your doctor doesnt want one then you dont need one.
