if its not in the packet then its not needed. I had my WW records and Jennie Craig, etc and my doctor took it from there - had no problems.

Good luck!

I heard from Christine through facebook - she is doing great! She wanted to post think and thank everyone for the well wishes!



Thanks for thinking of me! I can't post to
OH for some reason but maybe you can copy/paste this or at least post that All is well in Christine land! A little f'd up getting delayed for like four hours, her previous surg ran into complications. Enough about that I've been up and walking around all night, sipping water have my private room and doing perfectly well! This am I had an upper GI just making sure everything is doing what it's supposed to do... text book perfect per the lab doc. They're all very friendly and super nice here, couldn't ask for better. Was stuck in the PACU w jane? I had to beg her to stop making me laugh lolOh and the pain pump is clicked to my Johnny just a click away but havent really needed it! Frankies was w me allll day yesterday and tonight he hung out for a few hours, he's been great. Thank you all so much for your well wishes and prayers... The journey has finally begun!!!

Topic: HNE?? Help!!
let me start by saying, i started this journey about 4 years ago (or more) and, due to bumps in the road, and life in general, i had to put things on hold. now im back and ready to get this done!!!!

when i first was trying to get the surgery, you were required to jump thru so many hoops and i just could not coordinate and commit to it at the time. now, this is my time and im going to get it done no matter what!!!

i have health new england and i live in the springfield, ma area. i am waiting on the actual packet frm the ins co to come in the mail but over the phone they said that the requirements for approval are:
bmi of X-X with no co-morbids OR bmi of 35 with 2 co-morbids
6 mo supervised diet
nutritionist
physc eval

it doesnt say anywhere that i have to show 5 yrs of medical records/previous weight loss attempts. sooo is it not required by my ins? just curious bc im trying to get all my ducks in a row. seminar w office in feb but any info would be helpful..thanks
