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.

      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.
