280andlosing

As I stated before, I am just starting my journey. I called my insurance company and they said I will be covered, but only if I go to one of the listed docs.... okay, to make a long story short. I am soooooo afraid I will be denied because I have no real proof of being on a supervised weight loss program. I've taken karate when I was about 13, and I've been placed on diets by my pediatrician numerous amounts of times. But she's (the pediatrician) is in another state. Soooooo, im really lost. I really don't want to be denied because of that, because I really need this surgery. Does anyone else have, or has had this problem??? Please Help!!.... thnx :sad:

If you don't mind me asking.... What documents did you have to submit?... I am afraid of this part, because the only diet I have really paid any money for, was nutri-system. and I don't even have any proof of being on it. I know I will have to send in a letter from the physician, but other than that, what can I expect?... and CONGRATS!!!! i know you're excited. I can't wait till I get to that stage. :thumbup:

Hello all!!! I am 19 years old, and 282 lbs, 5'6, with a bmi of 46. At only 19, I suffer from high blood pressure issues, being a borderline diabetic and knee problems. I just called my insurance company on Thursday, and registered to take part in a seminar on Oct 29. I'm joining this site, because, it looks very informative, and I would like to hear others success stories. I am open to any tips, and suggestions. Please help me get through this process, I know it will be a long one. But I am up for the wait... (as long as I don't have to wait too long) I am extremely anxious to lose all of this weight. My goal weight is 155-160lbs. Hopefully everything goes smoothly with this process. Thnks for your time. And again, I am open to ANY comments, and tips... Thnx :thumbup:
