Tricare said MTF needs more info to get approved....

Tricare says the MTF needs mor info before they can approve me for the VSG at the MTF. Any ideas of what I can give them that will help get this done? Tricare said Fort Gordon wants 6 months documented attempts of excercise, diets and meds. Doc has meds list so thats not a problem. Are they looking for food journal and excercise logs? I have a weight watchers thing with my wegh-ins on it from 2009, will that help? Any info would be helpful, just trying to get this done before my husband is unavailable due to military stuff at the end of this year. Thanks so much everyone!!!!!

I believe Tiffykins may be able to help with your questions.

Yes, log all of your diet attempts with weight lost and gained. Put down your WW stuff, any other diet attempts like Atkins, or workout regimens, then document if you have issues working out with your joints due to your weight. I documented back 5 years, some of the numbers were guestimates, but I just logged it from the last 5 years, and submitted it with my paperwork to the surgeon at my first consult.
