Hello freinds!!

Sorry if this has been brought up before but i couldn't find it anywhere on here.

I have BCBS federal and I'm in my second month of my 3 month required supervised weight loss management. I haven't really lost anything during these 2 months. I started at 220 and am at 216 right now. Is that going to affect the insurance's decision to approve me?

I'm really trying to lose weight!!!! If I go any lower, i'll be below a 40 BMI. I'm so confused and I don't know what to do.

Has anyone ever been denied because they didn't lose weight during their weight management??? my paperwork gets sent to the insurance company next month and I'm freaking out that I can't lose anything.

someone please help with any experiences, information or advice that you have!!!

Thank you!!! I was told the same thing. That they would only look at the first BMI, I just hope that they don't deny me cuz i didn't lose that much weight.

Did you keep a food journal that you turned in???

I used myfitnesspal.com to keep up with my diet and exercise. Every month when I went to the doctor, I turned in that months printout of my food journal and exercise journal from that site. It was easy since they have an easy print out version. You can even backtrack if you want to start using it now. Just go back to when you started and complete each days info with the things you have journaled already. When I had completed everything, (nut. visit, pscyh eval, surgical consult) they turned ALL of that in with my journals. I got approved first try. Oh, and I only lost 14 pounds in my 6 month preop stuff. So I wouldn't worry to much about that. Just make sure you have EVERY single thing they require before they even consider sending it to insurance for approval.
