How do I get

I have been repeatedly denied the gastric bypass by my insurance which is BC/BS of Illinois (suprise, surprise) and in their "new" criteria it states that the insured "must have documented failure of 12 consecutive months of a MD supervised diet" within the last five years. It goes on to explain what a medically supervised diet must consist of. One of those requirements is to have "supervised increase of excersise". Okay so I hope this doesn't sound dumb but short of hiring a personal trainer how do I get someone to "supervise" me while I am working out, lifting weights, doing areobics, swimming, biking, power-walking. Get the picture? In order for me to start going to a gym it has to jive with my work schedule (I'm sure you all go through this). So on top of that it has to jive with someone elses schedule. And who would that person or persons be that would be "acceptable" supervision? Can you tell that the only exercise I have ever done has been in my own home with Richard Simmons on the T.V.? Thanks for any suggestions.
