A day or two ago I was reading a post that had details of exactly how a Dr.
should document your 6 month diet for insurance purposes. Unfortunately,
now I can't find it again. Since my pcp has had very limited experience
with wls, I'm concerned that he will not cover all the bases with his report.
Does anyone remember this post and if so can help me find it again?

Thanks,

Gail
