Okay....Like I said, I'm not that lucky.

After 5 days, I got an email from my "bariatric navigator" that said they don't have all the information they need. Of course, I get this message on Friday evening....when I can't do anything until Monday.   I wish she had called me.  Here's what they say I'm missing:
1.  Documentation (with dates) regarding what methods I've used to try to lose weight in the past year.  Methods like using a smaller plate, commercial or home diet programs, limiting sugar and fast food, drinking more water, getting more exercise, cutting out empty calories....   Are they kidding?  I went through this in great detail with the dietitian.  Fine, I can write something up.
2.  Chart notes or medical documentation that I've maintained a BMI of at least 35 for the past two years... 
I arranged for my doctor's office to fax this information early last November when I started this journey.  I guess this one is my fault.  I should have picked up the chart notes myself and then kept a copy.  This is just annoying.  Another week has been wasted.
