**UHC and 5 Years of Proof...??????

I was recently diagnosed with psuedotumor cerebrei after the birth of my 2nd daughter in september. i am 5'6' 250 lbs and have been stuggling with my weight for about 5 years. I however have not been going to a pcp about my weight problem. How would I provide documentation of my obesity? I did visit weight loss clinics, and contacted one for my records, would i ask my gynocologist for records of my weight also? That would really be the only doctor i appeared to have seen in the past few years.

All but one year of weight records came from my gynecologist, and they were accepted by my insurance.  I just made sure to include weights that were only during times I was not pregnant.  I don't know if this would have mattered, but I thought I would ensure that, just in case.

thank you im going to see if this will work i was speaking to the surgeons nurse and she seems confident that everylittle biit will help so  next question i guess....how do i go about obtaining the medical records, just call and request or go to office and fill out paper work and submit paperwork fee?

I just contacted the medical records dept in each organization. Be sure to have records sent to you - then have your doc make copies. You retain the originals without having to pay your surgeon to get them should you ever need them back. This happened to me.

I also got records from urgent care. I am presently battling with UHC, so it remains to be seen if 5 years of being at a BMI higher than 40 is the same thing as an MO diagnosis., but every data point helps, right? Good luck!
