Hi Mrs. Plumpy! I have been seeing a surgeon for the past 6 or seven months and I really didnt have any prior weigh ins... I went to him for information and found that it was best to see the surgeon first so they can start tracking your weight loss from that first consultation... I went every month and I weighed in and my 5 minute Q & A's.... After that they sent it out for approval with the insurance and to my surprise I was approved... they went based on those 6 months of weigh ins... I'm scheduled for surgery July 31st.... I'm nervous and excited at the same time... so my suggestion is that maybe you should see the surgeon so they have records of your weight loss attempts because if you do weight watchers and then the surgeon you MIGHT (and I could be wrong) have to do another 6 months of weigh ins... Good Luck!
