I am so happy I went to my PCP on Thursday and we easily documented 12+ consecutive months of medically supervised weight loss attempts. Seriously, if there is anyone out there who must have the 12 consecutive months of medically supervised weight loss attempts for insurance approval go to your PCP and talk to him/her. My PCP pretty much had it figured out before looking at my records. Heck, she even signed the letter my surgeon uses for insurance approval. Through conversation w/my surgeon's office I think this is the biggest hurdle I had to clear. I will know better once I seen my surgeon on Tuesday.
