How long of a history and what weight loss attempts did you submit for insurance approval? Did they ask for proof? I have BCBS FL, not required to do a pre-op diet. Only 3 months waiting period, and that's to complete the surgeons program. Thanks for the info.

I just had to have a statement from my Dr. that I had made previous attempts at weight loss and they failed. She typed up a statement showing dates I had come in to see her and that I had tried diet pills, phentermine, and was unsuccessful. I have BC/BS TX. It was a simple, brief statement.
