Question regarding 6 month diet
RNY on 10/18/12
Hey all - this is my very first post!
I recently started my journey toward hopefully having the gastric bypass done. I started my 6 month diet in April. In the first month, I gained 4lbs. Since then, I have lost 2 of them. I have made a lot of changes to habits, am doing what my doctor tells me and exercising a lot more. I am just nervous...
Since I gained 4lbs in my first month, do you think that they are going to turn me down for it? I am sure that the insurance does not want to see weight gain. Funny thing is, though, I have no idea how I gained. My weight fluctuates horribly. I have Highmark PPO Blue. I am working extremely hard to make sure I take those other 2lbs back off, and then some.
Has anybody ever had the same situation, where they fluctuated during their 6 month diet? If so, did you get denied?

my surgeons office required no gain or you were out of the program. not sure about insurance. they only required loss though for the band.
