      Yeah just ask the insurance coordinator at your surgeon's office. They are a WEALTH of knowledge!

    For my surgery proof of past weight loss attempts included the following:

    • Nutritionist Notes
    • Some sort of weight loss program/Calorie counting (I captured all my food intake with LoseIt for 6 months. I was able to make a PDF of the food diary I kept for that time.) I think they also accept weight watchers.
    • Medical documentation of weight at that time and activities of attempts to lose weight. I requested medical records from the doctors offices that showed my weight and what I talked to the Doctor about me losing weight.

    Also you should ask your surgeon as to what they look for as they deal with the Ins all the time and should know what they require.

    Hope this helps.

    Good Luck!
