Please Help with Proof of Weight Watchers Membership for Ins Co



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I really hope that someone can help me. :) I am currently attempting to acquire all of the information that should be submitted to my insurance company to strengthen my case for why they should cover my gastric sleeve. So far so good, but I'm having trouble with finding proof that I was on weight watchers for quite some time throughout my life. I recently closed the bank account that I was autopaying WW from and I'm not sure what else I can offer up as proof, because I am no longer a WW member. Does anyone know what I can do about this?

Thank you everyone so much for your support!

Samantha

You can also call Weight Watchers directly. I called them to get my history and they emailed it to me the same day.

And you can go to your old bank and ask for copies of back statements that would show your auto-pay. They may charge for them, but hopefully not very much.

You can call the customer service number and they can email you all your dates and weights from when you were a member. I had to do the same thing.

@@Samantha&Sunshine I had to do this exact same thing -- I went to my local Center, they sent me to Corporate WW (look on their website for contact info) and they told me that they don't keep records if you didn't reach Lifetime membership. So for my surgeon's package of info, I gave them my best guess, told them what WW said, and offered to sign a notarized statement that I did, in fact, do WW "x" times, "x" approx dates, "x" approx weight loss. They haven't asked me to do that (yet), but that's my story - hope that's helpful! Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
