So far im gotten all the way thur class 2 I've met my surgeon & they sent out my pre aproval request to my insurance. I have aetna insurance & they have requested 2 years of proof of obesity before they will approve it. The problem is that in 2010 I didn't have insurance for half the year & the other half of the when I did start work I didn't c a doctor, someone have any knowledge of this problem because I almost want to give up??!!!! Help me Plz

Do you have anything before 2010? I just brough my full medical records... They mainly looked for my annual check ups. Hope that Everythjng goes well.. Good luck !!!

Well I'm from AZ and I have Blue Cross Blue Sheild and had to show a 5 year history of obesity. I had 2012, 2011, nothing for 2010, 2009 and nothing for 2008. So what I did was asked for medical records from 2007 (an extra year) and then I wrote a letter to the insurance stating that I had no need to see a dr for 2008 and 2010. The lady at the bariatrics who deals with the insurance says it happens and a letter just explains why it's missing. I'm submitting all my requirements and letters to the insurance next week. So maybe get what you can even if it's farther back. Hope that helps.
