So I am hoping to get my surgery done end of December since my 27 weeks is up on November 1st. I have been looking everywhere on how to document the " medically supervised weight loss" with my PCP and cannot located forms or templates to use. My PCP has never had to document this before. I finally created one and thought I would share with you guys. i even ran it by the cigna people at  [email protected] and they said it was fine. I fill out the form once a month with my PCP. She also said it's a good idea to keep a food journal and submit that to your bariatric sugeron. They will submit your PCP forms along with your journal to the insurance company when the time comes to get pre authorization.

Me and my PCP starting our monthly meetings back in May...but we didn't have any real way of documenting it other than writing notes in my file. We're going to use this form to document our monthly meetings.
