Default 5 year requirement

I have uhc - learned that they would cover 90% - yay!!

not so fast - i later learned that they require that i have 5 consecutive years of weight monitoring - no skips - if you are late for your dr visit - then the count starts over.

I felt absolutely destroyed after hearing this. I'm a fat person with a fear of scales - even when i went to the dr. often times i wouldn't let them weigh me. i have all of the health issues that makes me a perfect candidate - but i don't have 5 consecutive years of weight monitoring by a physician.

i'm just saying this to make sure that you check everything before you get your hopes up too high.

if anyone have any idea on how i may deal with this situation please let me know.
