5 Year history of heights and weights

[TNVSGgal 0]

My insurance(BCBS of TN) requires me to have documentation of height and weight for the last 5 years. I have all of them except for one year (2013). My surgeon's office told me to go back an additional year(2010) but still can't obtain documentation for that year either. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what was the outcome? I hope I am not denied the surgery because of this. Thanks!

I have them. :-) If you have an obgyn have you asked them for records? Or any other place you have been? Weight watchers or anything like that. If you have a good relationship with your PCP they might put down a ht/wt for you :-) all you need is that paper filled out, not copies of medical records.

wow 5 years.. i barely go to a dr because i hate them teling me how big i am and i try to avoid the scale allthe time..i was in a program for 5 months and only lost 20 pounds in 5 months and quit because they hired a random lady of the street gave her a script and said here you go say this stuff... and they weigh you 2 times a week. I actually do have a dr that will probally just fill out paperwork he has been asking me to get surgery for 9 yrs now. i stopped going to him bout 5 yrs ago because i was sick of hearing it ... he even asked my father to convince me to go for surgery. I was kind of person in denial bout my weight that it wasnt that bad.. now i cant even get into a size 26 pants and im pushing 400 i have a baby and im scared to death of knee replacement.. so now its time to visit this dr sooon..
