Well too bad your hubby, working for USPS, doesn't have Fed BCBS. I turned all my old WW documentation and was approved from that. Hang in there...it WILL be worth it!!!

It is pretty standard that they all are asking for a 6 mo dr. supervised diet now.... some will accept documentation like if you have been going to weigh****chers or some place like that recently.  This is a long process which I know stinks it took me a year to get through all their hoops they expect you to go through to get approved.  Good luck and don't give up cause it will all be worth it....

Deborah,

What insurance do you have? The 6 month diet is fairly standard, however some AETNA plans have a 3 month multi-disciplinary plan you can do instead. It is stricter, but faster!

Has anyone gone through the insurance approval process only to be told that you must go on a 6 month supervised diet 1st? And... has anyone by past this?  ie.. Found the insurance company and not have to do this? Geesshh,, like, we all have already spent our life savings on diets....
