How to obtain Weight Watchers diet history?!??



Recommended Posts

Hi I just wanted know how I go about to obtain my weight watchers diet history. I have been looking into lap band for a while now and I finally made plans to go through with it. I have (BCBS) and was told I have great coverage. As many of you know I have to do the 6 month diet, however I was told it will be 3 months because I have 3 months of weight watchers & my insurance will except that.

So I have two questions

1. How do I obtain my weight watchers history? I emailed them on April 2nd I got a reply back on April 8th they told me they would get my history if I replied with the ok to do so. Well I replied and have yet to hear back (also is my diet history/tracking what I need or something else)

2. I also wanted to know if I could be denied by my insurance. Although I have been on weight watchers I haven't been tracking my food consistently I wanted to know if that could hurt my aprroval chances.

Thanks in advanced sorry if so long

I made copies of my weigh-in book...the stickers that they put in your book. Do you not have them any more?

could you go to the place that held your meetings and see ifthey can look you up and give you some documentation?

I have BCBS PPO and they don't require the wait-My first Dr. appointment was April 7th and my date for surgery is May 25th - if all goes well.

Good luck with everything :)

I had my weigh in book. Then later on I was told it was not accepted. So I had to do a six month diet anyways. It sucked, but gave me time to do more research

I have asked WW about this myself and they said if I needed proof I was there I should use my bank statements. I didn't end up having to prove it but it may work!

Thanks all I finally got an answer from weight watchers I tracked all my food online and on my phone I was soo busy so I didn't get a chance to go to the meetings and tracking food on my phone is better and easier to me than writing everything down weight watchers told me that they don't have access to my online food journal information ugh!!!

I am getting really frustrated I was told because of my weight watchers history I could do just 3 months but I might end up doing 6 because I don't have access to my food journals

Yesterday was my first meetIng (3 or 6 month diet meeting) and I was told it might work I did turn in my weight watchers receipts and I paid with pay pal so I also turned those in

Man oh man June will be my second visit I really hope I can just do 3 months

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
