Everytime I changed insurance I had to change Dr's..Hope I can remember them all! Thank you ins companies. help?

Hi Sally- I know how challenging it can be to remember and track down different docs from out of state. But that's exactly what I did. I tracked down my old PCP and OBGYN from where I used to live. I called them up and asked how to request my medical records. It was really easy, and they mailed them to me. Of course there were some diets that I did on my own, so I also typed a list of the approximate dates of the diets, the types of diets, results of the diets and the medications I've tried, etc.. I also made copies of my gym receipts and gave my surgeon's office both the medical documentation as well as records I made on my own. My recommendation would be start on it as soon as you can. Good Luck!

I showed my diet documentation as 6 months of visits to the dietician at the hospital and my TOPS membership card with each time I went initialed and weighed in. Sheryl
