I am so sorry for you one option is to get your PCP to print out all your vitals that show your wieght and if he had a conversation with you about the importance of getting your wieght down( which they never fail to mention) at those visits it can be considered a "supervised" weight loss. it might work or at least shorten some..Good Luck
Hi and welcome ,
