If you have been to your doctor over the past 2 years your weight should be listed on your chart. That was all of the documentation I needed...hope that helps! I have BCBS Fep Basic of Missouri. Susan

I had to get weight history for 3 years I just went to my PCP and they log your weight every time you go in... So they printed me up a report and I took it to my surgeons office.

I have BCBS Fed and my primary care MD had pleanty of weights!!!

I had to provide 5 years documentation of BMI greater than 30. I never go to the doc so this worried me. I had a few years from a DOC office and the rest I used my WW book, documentation from another weightloss program and charted weights from the Gym were I did a weightloss contest.

Check the benefits book. They cover but have pre-op requirements and approvals that will take about 6 months.
