Hi,
I’m new to all of this.
My doctor will send me to the Bariatric Department based on my weight and a co-morbidity health condition.
I’m concerned about Medicare’s medically supervised weight loss program requirement. Actually, it states “Documented participation in medically supervised weight loss program”. I haven’t been in a program since I was in my late teens. I have no documentation of the program.
If I’m put on a program now, I might fall before the BMI requirement. Taking off weight could happen, however, I have difficulty keeping it off in the long run. Also, I’d hate to have to push off the surgery do to this.
Obviously, I’m afraid of not qualifying for a program.
Any person experience or suggestions?
Thank you!
