Julie, The first thing...
Julie,
The first thing I did was reviewed www.obesitylaw.com. On the site there is a form for information I filled out telling them a little about my situation. Then they contacted me. They gave me a list of information I needed to send to them. i.e. nutritionist & psych notes, copy of my insurance policy, etc. I sent them everything. It was a lot of calls to all the people involved to get the information but it was well worth it. The only complaint I have against obesity law is they don't do a good job of keeping you informed of what's happening. They do let you know when they have information but that's it. If they don't know anything instead of sending an email stating no new information yet, I received nothing. Other than that, they were great.
I hope this helps.
Good luck,
~Tracey
