Has anyone been able to get around the 6 month required Dr diet for pre-auth?

I am seeing my PCP on Monday. I understand from the surgery program coordinator, that I have to have 6 visit hx of monthly documentation of BMI and weight, and diet progress, before I can get insurance qualification. My MD followed me monthly 4 yrs ago, but not recently. The past year, I've been in counseling and I bought an eliptical so I don't have gym records. I was in personal training 4 days a week for 1 1/2 years, but that was 2 1/2 years ago... I'm trying to get those records. I called my insurance and they said the MD has to confirm 6-12 months of medically followed diet. I wanted to get my surgery before the end of the year so that my insurance deductibles won't go up as I understand they will in Jan. Any ideas...anyone? Thanks...
