Has anyone been approved without a medically supervised diet history

I have checked the responses to this question, but haven't found any that answers exactly what I need to know. I have BCBS PPO and I just found out that they have sent a letter to my PCP requesting diet history. The problem is that although my doctor has given me diet sheets, he is not considering this medically supervised. According to his assistant who contacted me, medically supervised means that the doctor referred me to a licensed dietician and a history was kept of my weight loss attempt. Since this isn't the case, he will let the ins co know this. I also have documentation from another doctor I'd seen previously that did the same thing, told me I need to lose weight and gave me diet sheets, but never recorded my weight loss attempt. I have no medically supervised history to give to the ins co. I documented all the diets I've tried in the past, how much weight I lost and how long I kept the weight off and this was submitted by my surgeon's office along with everything else including a letter I wrote to the medical review board explaining what I've been through and am still. I'm terrified because the insurance co might deny me alltogether when they get this letter from my PCP. HAS ANYONE GOTTEN APPROVAL EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T HAVE A MEDICALLY SUPERVISED DIET HISOTRY TO GIVE THE INS CO WHEN IT WAS REQUESTED. I am 150# overweight, diabetic, hypertensive, suffer sleep apnea, have severe back pain, shortness of breath and the list goes on. I thought this would be more than enough to get me approved. I have been overweight for 27 years (I'm now 34) and I need to regain as much of my health as I can. Please help, I'm going out of my mind trying to figure this one.
