Hi, new here--How to get 5-year weight history when I haven't gone to a doctor ...



Recommended Posts

five years in a row?

I need this for Aetna, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I did go in 2003 and 2004, but I was pregnant both years.

Any thoughts?

Do you know you're approximate weights???? If so, type them up in a chronological order and see if your PCP or any doctor would just sign that. Maybe that would work.

I had a list of dates and weights over the years and that was enough.

Good luck

You can use the weights from the beginning of your pregnancies. That should be acceptable. Any doctor visit you went to for any reason would also have a record of your weight. Did you go for your yearly pap? Your ob/gyn will have your weight. Check on it.

Are you sure you need a 5 year history? I just got approved by Aetna and I only needed a 2 years - I sent 2007 and 2008. Check on it.

I do Bariatric insurance approvals for a living. Aetna only requires 2 years of weight history. It must be a full 24 months from whatever day your insurance approval request is submitted. If you don't have doctor documention they will accept weight watchers logs, Jenny Craig weigh ins, etc. Anywhere you were weighed and someone else documented your weight. Also consider whether or not you visited Care now or the ER, had a work physical or were in the hospital for any reason. All of those are places to find your weight histroy. Good Luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
