My insurance co wanted records for the last 5 yrs at least once a year and the weight at each appt to show that I have been overweight for awhile. It also showed that I had been to the doc for weight problems. They said something about a 6 mos period of weight management prior to surgery, but I was lucky as I had actually been going to a weight clinic for a few months immediately prior to my surgery appts. They didnt say they actually needed those 6 mos in my case....but a lot of companies were requiring it to see if you really needed the surgery and to see if you could stick to something for awhile as the surgery itself was a lifestyle change that you would have to live with and hopefully succeed at.
