Does anyone have an example letter that they wouldn't mind sharing with regards to the letter that your Physician writes after your 6 month diet.

Today is Visit # 3 and the start of Month 3

I was thinking maybe at my last Visit in January I could walk in with a letter and just ask the doctor to read it and sign it for me.   That way it's easier on both of us.

Also.. At the close of month 2 I've decided that the whole Weigh****cher deal is a bust.  I don't forsee myself spending another 120 a month for something I can't do.  (let me explain)

I'm doing weigh****chers at work and the scale they use only goes up to 300 lbs.  I have to drive to the next town to weigh in at the corporate center because their scale goes up to 600.   To me the gas I'm spending should be deducted from my dues.

Any comments on that?  Am I shooting myself in the foot?   I might just sign up for the online version and continue going that way..  I mean I love the "plan" but the whole  meeting thing doesnt do it for me since I cant partake in the weigh ins

As far as the documented 6 months, my insurance company wanted the actual Dr's notes from those individual 6 months. They would not accept a letter from the Dr...

Good luck.

Highest: 338/Surgery Day: 303/Current: 270/Goal: 180

I was going to say the same thing--I am submitting actual copies of the report from each visit, not just a letter. If it were just a letter, too many people would be able to get their docs to write one without actually going in every month.

I submitted office notes and a letter for each visit, showing compliance with the regimen. I only had to do 3 months, but if you'll PM me with you address, I'll get you copies of the letters I drafted and then the doctor signed.

I need ot make sure she had good notes this week... i think we got really side tracked when we found out I could use the scale.   I'll make sure she updates the notes when I go in next month.

Thanks all!
