Hi just received paperwork from the doctor have my first appointment on April 30 in the paperwork there was a paper that had a list of diets I need to fill out that I tried and how much weight I lost. I have been successful with diets in the past and have lost a significant amount of weigh but have always gained it back plus more should I be honest on this paperwork? I don't want to write the wrong thing and get denied. I don't want them to feel that I'm just being lazy now and don't want to do the other stuff again!

I would be honest. Even though you lost weight on the programs, obviously they haven't been successful for you long term. That actually helps you more than if you haven't tried anything at all and are looking to WLS first.

Good luck!

I had done the same thing. I put it all down. The DR was impressed that I had tried numerous times. (so I could stick to a plan) but I needed an extra tool to be successful.

Yes, be honest. I did it too and was not a problem.

Yes, put all of it down. That helps the insurance co. see that you have tried diets and they haven't worked for you.

Definitely be honest. The insurance company just wants to see that you've made efforts in the past and have failed.

Be honest they just want to see you've tried numerous ways to lose weight! I was honest and was successful with weight loss too but gained it all back! Getting sleeved on April 28!!!

Thanks everyone!!! How much did you guys end up paying after insurance for the surgery?
