If you had any doctors (primary, gynecologist, etc.) where you used to live call and ask them to fax a letter giving your weights. I'f you have gone to weight watchers or any where else you tracked your weight, get records from there.

I have those from where I lived before but they would be from 2011. I moved March of 2012 Should I get my stuff from my old state even though they asked for 2012 and 2013?

Give them copies of what ever you have. If they won't accept it they will let you know. This particular requirement is utterly ridiculous.

Okay I will request prior years also, thanks for the responses. My first consultation was yesterday so I'm just beginning the process and am trying my best not to miss any steps.

I did not have consecutive years of documented weights, but they accepted them as I was able to provide 3 years.

I had to provide 5 years, only had 4, but for that last year, they accepted a letter from a family member as a reference acknowledging my ongoing weight problems. And it worked, got the approval today.

Sassy I do not have a date yet I'm actually just getting started. My consultation was on 01/28 lab work is done, weight History is done, my psych eval is 02/10 and 1st of 6 supervised diet appointments is 02/25 so 6 months out everything should be done by July so I'm hoping for an August/September date.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
