Hi friend!! In my searching about insurance guidelines, and reading and reading I found this in NHP: Documented failure of attempts to sustain w eight through less intensive, physician supervised methods, such as diet, exercise, behavior modification programs and pharmaceutical interventions; I dont have any documented attempts or nothing like that, all my life I just lost pounds with over the counter diet pills, some exercise, etc, but I cant documented that......what do you think? Maybe I can write a letter? I dont know.... Any advise or opinion I appreciate!
