Insurance

Most insurances now offer surgical weight loss benefits. Often insurances will require an individual to complete medical weight loss prior to being considered for surgery approval. What is medical weight loss? Medical weight loss is a supervised weight loss program in which the individual must meet with their family doctor and dietitian for a specific number of months. During this time, the individual must diet, exercise and prepare themselves for surgery. Insurances require the individual to maintain or lose weight during this time.
