I'm doing the same thing. Doc has me on a diet and exercise plan. I don't know if there is anything really to do other than follow the plan and pray. Yeah it just hoops to jump through because a % of people will give up thus allowing the ins co. to not have to pay for the surgery.
I had to do the same thing. Supervised diet with PCP for six months for insurance purposes.
I am no doctor, and not knowing more about your situation, it hard to give advice. But going off "300lbs 5'6", I would say your BMI is pretty high and therfore you may want to look into RNY or DS. The band and VGS are options certainly, but most with your body measurements have went with the RNY or DS and had plenty of success.
Good luck!
