Did anyone have they insurance company to tell their Primary Care doctor that in

order for them to aprove for the gastric bypass surgery, that the patient needed to be on a low fat diet with exercise for a year. The reason I asked is because that's what happened to me today when I went for my physical. Said that they needed some written documentation of me trying to lose weight and exercising. I mean really, I've tried that all my life and it did not work. If I'm considering this surgery, that obviously means I can't do it on my own right? Can someone answer me, because I'm feeling just a little bit low now. I'm going to definitely research this more.
