6 month Diet question

I have a question about the 6 month diet. 

I am going through the surgeon for my diet.  I started this process on 12/14/11 and they told me that at that time I would finish my diet in May and would be looking at a surgery date towards the end of May or first of June.   I just did my 3rd visit yesterday and the surgeon stated I was half way done.  So my quesion is it 6 weigh in's which would make sense with what I am being told or is it 6 full months of diet.  If it is 6 full months I would not be finished until Mid June.

I have Horizon BCBS of NJ.   I was going to ask yesterday but did not remember. 

Any help with this confusion would be awesome. 

Thank you

Bob

You really need to get the clarification from your insurance directly. Some insurances actually have you complete a 7th visit to make the full six months. Good Luck!

I am doing 7 regardless so there is no reason to deny me :)

I think you definitely should do the 7th visit.  Most insurances (at least I know mine was) a full 6 months, in fact, it had to be over a period of at least 180 days.  Any less and they would have denied!

Better safe than sorry!
