Hello all! Well I'm just beginning this journey and already I see that I need to have all my ducks in a row ahead of time to avoid ever having to start over. So if you don't mind I just have a few questions.
I have BCBSIL however I'm in TX and in the city I live we have no approved Bariatric Centers I have to easily go 200+ for a surgeon. Will they accept the 6months of diet by going to my PCP, do I just ask him to be specific in the records, anything else he should be sure to add?
Also, I did do some dieting last year with Meridia however I then became pregnant, however I lost the baby etc and then didn't pick back up on my dieting until recently, it's my understanding they want 6mos. of consecutive records is that correct?
One additional question for now, the 5 year records, just general office visits over the last five years showing my weight etc will those work?
Any helpful hints anyone may have would be very much apprectiated. Thank you!
