6 Months Dieting and Weigh-in history

Before you submit to the insurance company it helps if you include a 6 mos. history of supervised dieting with proof of monthly weigh-ins. It must be within the past 12 mos. CIGNA PPO won't even consider approving without this info. They want to know that the patient is able to discipline him/herself by sticking to a program before AND after gastric bypass surgery. So while you are waiting for the first visit with the surgeon, see a doctor or nutritionist and get on a plan. Have your doctor weigh you and track this every month. That will get one huge road block out of the way. Hang in there.
