thank you im going to see if this will work i was speaking to the surgeons nurse and she seems confident that everylittle biit will help so next question i guess....how do i go about obtaining the medical records, just call and request or go to office and fill out paper work and submit paperwork fee?
All but one year of weight records came from my gynecologist, and they were accepted by my insurance. I just made sure to include weights that were only during times I was not pregnant. I don't know if this would have mattered, but I thought I would ensure that, just in case.

I was recently diagnosed with psuedotumor cerebrei after the birth of my 2nd daughter in september. i am 5'6' 250 lbs and have been stuggling with my weight for about 5 years. I however have not been going to a pcp about my weight problem. How would I provide documentation of my obesity? I did visit weight loss clinics, and contacted one for my records, would i ask my gynocologist for records of my weight also? That would really be the only doctor i appeared to have seen in the past few years.

I am so glad that I saw this because I just called them and the lady I spoke with with wonderful. My husband of course was concerned because they are in California and if they were the real deal or not. Thank you so much for posting. I am hoping for an approval of my revision soon. Aetna is making me crazy!!! lol
VSG on 6/12/2013. Surgery weight 251 lbs.
I just wanted to verify that Lindstrom is one of the best practices to hire if you are having any issues with insurance. When i was about to give up i decided to hire them and i am so glad i did. It took a year for me to get approved for my revision but i am so glad i had them by my side fighting for me. They are very good about getting back to you in a timely manner and keeping up updated on everything that is going on. I dont know how many times i bugged them with questions but no matter what i always got a response. For sure worth it if you are thinking about it!!
