Submitted to insurance and requires 5 year weight history

[wasabi 57]

Ugh! I thought I was done!!! So my coordinator emails me today that they gave submitted to insurance and insurance requires 5 year weight history from docs or we can provide photos with max weight that year. Tough to find since I don't like being photographed when I'm fat!! I think I've got all the years covered but dang! I wasn't a 40 BMI until this year, but I have been obese for over 5 years. I hope they approve anyway!!

My insurance listed five years history as a requirement but never actually asked for it and they approved without it. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

When I had my band put in this was a requirement for UHC. My PCP had records from me showing my weight at least one time during the past 5 calendar years. I was never at a BMI of 40 and sometimes under BMI of 35, but it showed a history of obesity during this period.

Yes, it's for UHC. I emailed her pics but I wasn't a 40, so I'm nervous about getting approved! I'm a 40 now and I am fearful that it will just get worse and worse each time I lose 50 lbs and gain 75 back, ya know? I really hope this surgery gets approved and it works out for me. It's my last hope of being at a regular weight I fear!!
