This is more work than I expected. I contacted my primary doctor who I see every three months. They are preparing a letter that list my 6 month consecutive weight loss. I sent him a copy of my weight watcher records that have 9 consecutive months of weight loss from Oct 2007-April 2008. He is constructing his letter with this info. I hope this is what ins wants. I have an appt tomorrow for the psych eval and in 2 weeks the nutritionalist eval. I was also going to send proof of a gym membership and my attendance for 3 months from 2006. I also have records that I attended nutrition counseling about 5 years ago. I am also gathering some of my mom's medical records showing a family history of weight related health issues. I thought the more I send the better. My BMI is 36 but I have diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. I have Horizon BCBS for my carrier. What do you think? I really need this to be approved.
