Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  5 year weight history well, i might have hit a snag. was just reading through the materials from the weight loss institute i was planning on utilizing for my WLS and they require a 5 year weight loss history. i don't have a 5 year weight loss history documented by a physician. anyone been able to work around that stipulation?

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | This can come from a number of sources. Your Drs. Even if its different ones. Even if you went to weight watchers this will count. I think most insurance companys want proff you have been over weight for at least 5 years. Think about the last 5 years and see what you can come up with. You might suprise yourself. Good luck sweeite. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | thanks so much to Chilly - a member here who lives in the saint louis area. she went to a different WLS center and i have already been on the phone with them and all they require is a 5 year diet history. and Chilly also said that she has BCBS and everything went through the insurance requirement smoothly. i don't feel like i've all of a sudden hit a brick wall now!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | I love this place too Chilly. I know when I submitted my diet history to my surgeon's assistant Monday at my consult, I just needed proof of my diet history. I took over 2 hours remembering all of the diet books I purchased, magazines and self made diets and came up with months and years....It took up two sheets! I'm glad you got it worked out. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | My insurance required a 5 year weight history as well. They did not say it had to be consecutive 5 years! So gather what you can even if its far back. I went as far back as the year 2000 and used a weight from 2008 (hey a weight is a weight). I was worried about this as well, but I got APPROVED! Tami

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | When my doctor dictated his notes, he listed the years and the diets I was on to develop this history, my ins took that. He actually started like 15 years before and listed the diets and dates. Like Nutrisystem on this date, weight watchers on this date, yada yada yada. And he wasn't on board with this but I had to meet with him for 3 months prior, he's eating his words now.
