insurance approval

Has anyone gotten approval without having the 6 month supervised diet?

I did

how?

yeah by past diet proof such as weigh****chers, baratic doctor prescribing weight loss medications and diet, and family physician watching weight go up and down and up for 2 years. I also had acupuncture for weight loss so that was documented. Mainly, look at any doctors, chiropractors, dieticians, etc that you've talked about your weightloss to and see if they documented it in your medical records.

Oh my gosh. I did. But listen to what they did. Ok, they said i needed proof of a 6 month supervised diet. So i started weigh****chers. Then i had like, 1 more month to go, and already had spent like, over 200 dollars for all the meetings, and then they send in the approval papers for surgery without them saying im almost done with my weigh****chers. Or even DOING weigh****chers. And then they approved me the next day! So even though i spent over 200 dollars on WW, im just glad im FINALLY approved for surgery ! And that i got approved in 1 day! Thats unbelievable!!!! ~Amy pre-op DS 11-5-04
