Default New Member.. questions..

Hi everyone, I am new to this board, but so glad I found it. I have not really done too much in the way of going to doctors and such so I really don't know what I will need. I have my first consulation with a doctor on the 26th of this month. I did already go in and filled out a bunch of paper work and have attended one support group so far, but that is it. I am really worried with some of the topics on here that I will be denied through my insurance. I have The State Health Plan for my insurance.. I don't have any proof of any dieting i have done. What are they looking for in this, just to see if you have attempted to lose weight, or what? I brought in my doctor documents from when I went to my back doctor over the past 5 years and my reg. gyno doctor, but I don't have anything in there on weight loss, so I am getting worried that I won't have the documentaion they will need.
I am currently 255 pounds, and as far as any other health problems, I have a lot of back problems, and I just get really tired out quickly, but I am sure that is normal with being heavy. Sorry for this long message, but I want to be prepared for my first doctors appointment and to know what the insurance people are looking for. I would love to hear from some of you.. Mindy
