WW and medical history, help!



Recommended Posts

I have BCBS FEDERAL...they require a 2 medical history of being obese... I have been overweight since I was 7 (I'm 22 now). Thing is, I had my daughter in 2009...my 6 weeks post-partum appointment was the last doctor appointment I had until Nov 2012...there is a 2 1/2 year gap of no weight documentation :(

But, I did weight watchers from 2010-2012, thank goodness I used the e-tools to track my weight online.... has anyone submitted documentation from WW as weight history and been approved???

Thanks!!

I have read on here before that someone had submitted WW records and they excepted them. I also was prepared to use mine if I had needed to, but got lucky and was approved first go. I think it may have been caligirl?, but can't remember. I think it may depend on insurance. Best of luck.

My doctor closed her practice about 2 years ago. My current doctor only had the past 15 months on me. Insurance accepted it. No problem.

And you owe it to yourself and your child to use that insurance (I have it, too) and get yourself in for a baseline check on your health! Guess you can tell I am a mother.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
