Help, I am having trouble with this part of the application. I need to cfill out a diet history for the last 5 years.....my life since I was about 25 has been nothing but one failed diet after another.... how do I do this? I don't want to mess up my chance of getting approved...... Sharon

I listed 10 years of diets from Jenny Craig, south beach... If you name it I tried it and I put it all to show my failures. It was embarassing and made me feel horrible.

They want dates and weights.....like I remember when I started and when I fell off

Make it up as you think you remember. I can't remember last week never mind 10 years of failures. I do know that as I dieted I always gained more weight in the end than when I started.

That is my story exactlly.....What is the purpose of this anyways. My family doctor has been after me for several years to do this and now I have to jump thru hoops for the insurance company? The doctor could just send them a list of my weight thru the years.

No, it is just another hoop for you to jump thru to prove commitment. Good Luck. It was worth all the bs in the end. I have lost 50lbs since surgery on 7/31 and feel better than I have in years.

By the way thanks for listening to my gripping. Is this the worst part of the process? I saw the psychologist last week and have my nutrition visits scheduled for November.....this silly diet history is like a monkey on my back. All the insurance needs to do is contact my MD and he has 25 years worth of my ups and downs.....mostly ups.
