Oh cool. I had to actually get records from my obgyn as well because my heaviest weight of 2011 from my PCP was barely 200. Luckily I had gone to my obgyn and had the 216. I just bounced around a lot. Good luck to u and keep me posted

Crouch a little when they measure your height!

Its funny you should say that because my dietician measured me as a 1/2 in shorter and I tried to correct her and she pretty much gave me a wink like 'no no, its ok, we'll just leave it there'. I love her.

I did crouch. I'm 5'7" they measured me 5'5"

I'm 5'7" too and freaked out when my surgeon's office measured me at 5'8"! I had shoes on and immediately declared that was not my correct height. Still came up at 40 bmi...whew!

Ok' date=' I have BCBS Federal so it's really a good insurance to have. It requires 3 months diet with NUT BMI with 35-40 with comorbidities or BMI over 40. My BMI is over 40 and I have a month and a half to go on the NUT thing. My problem is they also have to submit a two year history from my regular doctor showing a BMI OVER 40 I'm one of those people who bounce all over the place and lose and gain weight constantly. Last December I was 180 now I'm 250. I don't know if I was over 40 during the last two years when I went to doctor. I am waiting on my records from my PCP. Anyone else experience this? Trouble with the two year history? How strict is the insurance company?[/quote']

Hey Jessica BCBS is wonderful!!! I have BCBS Federal and I had to go through the Nut visits , 2 year history and I wasn't over 40 BMI during those 2 years... I am a revision and my weight was up and down for 2 years....I went to my PCP at least once per year and that's what they are looking for- how much did you weigh? Well after my last NUT visit my paper work was turned in on a Wednesday and I received the call that I was approved on Friday. They are not strict at all.

Omg!!! That is music to my ears!!! I can't wait!!!

That's funny...I thought it was just me, but it makes complete sense that they *might* try that to get a higher BMI. I'm not accusing anyone, but I'm 5'10 1/2" and they had me at 5' 9" I said I was sure I was taller than that and it was as if I'd never said anything! wow...
