Just beginning the insurance approval process

This is more work than I expected. I contacted my primary doctor who I see every three months. They are preparing a letter that list my 6 month consecutive weight loss. I sent him a copy of my weight watcher records that have 9 consecutive months of weight loss from Oct 2007-April 2008. He is constructing his letter with this info. I hope this is what ins wants. I have an appt tomorrow for the psych eval and in 2 weeks the nutritionalist eval. I was also going to send proof of a gym membership and my attendance for 3 months from 2006. I also have records that I attended nutrition counseling about 5 years ago. I am also gathering some of my mom's medical records showing a family history of weight related health issues. I thought the more I send the better. My BMI is 36 but I have diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. I have Horizon BCBS for my carrier. What do you think? I really need this to be approved.

They say the more the better I just had my primary Dr letter and her 6 months notes of my supervised dieting with her and my WW food logs and weights. But my BMI is higher than yours and I have several existing weight related illnesses. So I guess you just have to use your best judgement and if they need more they will let you know. My friend had to submitt several other things after the initial submission but she finally got approval. Good Luck and I know it seems like alot but the payoff will be so great!
