Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 I'm in the processes of gathering all my documentation to send in after my consult in October and I have a few questions about what I should write. When I write up a diet history do I just include dates and weight info or do I include personal info as well or is that I separate letter. I'm asking because I have only been on a program 3 times and a couple attempts on my own that only lasted a few days at most. I don't want the insurance company to just deny me because I haven't tried enough things. It takes such mental effort to just watch food and exercise that most of the time I just don't bother. But I've looked into some of the medicines that are used namely Thermolift and another I forgot the name of but they contained Ephedrine which from what I've heard really scares me also I've nursed two kids for over a year each so I couldn't take alot of the stuff even if I wanted to. I want to write WHY I haven't tried alot of things (my mantra being I want to be heathy not thin at all costs since I have no co-mobids and I think I would have been worse off trying some of the drugs) and I'm not sure if I should write one letter descrbing my weight history including the diet attempts or if that should be a separate document. My second question is what is considered " family " for family history. Somewhere I saw something about only parents and siblings but I'm not sure if that's correct. Many of my grandparents siblings have had diabetes but it hasn't come closer than that. ALso my grandmother died of a heart attack and one of my cousins had his first one at 35 but my parents and siblings are all fine (except their obesity).
