Aetna POS II Anyone? / Brandon, Fl

Hi all :) I recently decided to embark on the gastric sleeve surgery journey. I am registered to attend the information seminar next week and meet with the surgeon 2 days later. I have a few questions...

A) Aetna states that I need to prove my bmi meets their requirements through "contemporaneous" records. Any idea exactly what they mean by that? I spoke with an aetna customer service rep but she didn't understand my question at all. I am teetering within a pound or two of a 40 bmi and am the heaviest I've ever been. So, my recent Dr visits show me with a 38 or 39 bmi.

B) Any idea which weigh in counts as the first official weigh in? Will they weigh me at the seminar?

Thanks in advance! :)
