I am just starting the process at 48 years old. I tried when i was in my late 20's, fought hard, got an approval and then chicken out as my babies were all little. Now here I am again. I don't have my consult until March so i wanted to start thinking ahead. Regarding Anthem Blue Cross, am I going to have a documented supervised weight loss plan on record or can i just document my attempts at diets like 'keto';etc? If i do have to document, is doing Weight Watchers through the App sufficient? Any advice anyone can give me is great. My BMI is 59.

I have BCBS and had to have my doctor provides notes from my visits over the past 6 months showing that she talked with me about diet and exercise. It also had to include my weight. All but one of my visits were virtual (I saw her every 3 months for diabetes) and they accepted the notes. Think she also wrote a letter.
