I'm confused reading my employer's policy regarding weight loss surgery. I was thinking that starting the 6 month supervised diet was what I still had to do and I'm going in to my pcp on May 2 to start that but I am really confused on the weight history of 2 years.  I have documented weight with a bmi of over 40 for 2009, 2010 and will have it for 2012.   I had a visit in July of 2009 where I went to my doctor as a self pay patient to get an antidepressant filled and I have a recorded weight I can get from this time with a BMI of 45.8.  I got pregnant shortly after and was on medicaid because I was unemployed.  I have a post partum weight from May 2010 with a bmi of 44.2.  Right now I have a BMI of 50.6

But I had no insurance and no money for a doctor visit in 2011.  I weight myself plenty at home and went on every diet in creation and kept gaining but I had to be at my current job for  a year to get health insurance.

Now I'm worried I will have to wait until 2014 for surgery and keep gaining weight becuase of no recorded weight in 2011. ugh.

Normally the point of that requirement is to show that you didnt just gain the weight and are looking for a quick fix.  Since you have documented weights from more than 2 years ago you should be ok.
