Hi: Tazman74
Congrats on your up coming surgery. You're right six months go by fast, especially when you're busy. I have been with United Health Care for many years, I have never had any problems getting approvals for surgeries.
1- What are some of the things you had to do during your Nut, visits ?
2- Did they have you start any type of special diet to lose weight ?
3- Were you Okay with what you had to do ?
Your replies will really help me.
Best Wishes.

Tenacious88,
You know the Nut visit was really easy just take like three tests on the computer takes about three to four hours. Then I met the nut and talked about the results for about an hour it was not all that bad.
no special diets just had to see a nutritionist for six months (the only thing that bothered me about that was paying all the co-pays and having to take the time off of work to go).
over all yes I am happy with what I had to do and I DID end up loosing 18 pounds over that six months
when I saw my surgeon he did tell me to start my protein diet now 20 days before I go in (just to see what I can loose before) the only thing he said is a must it the 10 days before but I want to see what I can loose.
Just remember this is to better your life and I know it's hard but try not to think about it and the time will fly by.
Good luck and hang in there you can and will do it all just get your good jumping shoes on for all the hoops you will need to jump trough.
