5 Year history of heights and weights



Recommended Posts

My insurance(BCBS of TN) requires me to have documentation of height and weight for the last 5 years. I have all of them except for one year (2013). My surgeon's office told me to go back an additional year(2010) but still can't obtain documentation for that year either. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what was the outcome? I hope I am not denied the surgery because of this. Thanks! :)

I have them. :-) If you have an obgyn have you asked them for records? Or any other place you have been? Weight watchers or anything like that. If you have a good relationship with your PCP they might put down a ht/wt for you :-) all you need is that paper filled out, not copies of medical records.

wow 5 years.. i barely go to a dr because i hate them teling me how big i am and i try to avoid the scale allthe time..i was in a program for 5 months and only lost 20 pounds in 5 months and quit because they hired a random lady of the street gave her a script and said here you go say this stuff... and they weigh you 2 times a week. I actually do have a dr that will probally just fill out paperwork he has been asking me to get surgery for 9 yrs now. i stopped going to him bout 5 yrs ago because i was sick of hearing it ... he even asked my father to convince me to go for surgery. I was kind of person in denial bout my weight that it wasnt that bad.. now i cant even get into a size 26 pants and im pushing 400 i have a baby and im scared to death of knee replacement.. so now its time to visit this dr sooon..

      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.
