:cool: I finally did it, I made the call after searching and reading up on surgerys :sick i did it , I went to my Oreintation last week at the hospital, and found it quite interesting, I was full of questions and had my application ready for her, how ever i had to do a insurance verification call

which pesimist i am was surprised I am covered, and do not need a wait list for weight loss, just the nessary requirements of body mass and so on, which i qualify. I am only 5'2" and weighing in at a hefty 213 when i went to oreintation, after listening to them saying i would have to loose some weight i have already lost 2 lbs:clap2: . I emailed the nurse and insurance rep. at the hosp. and have talked to my doc which again i though i would have problems but he was all for it says it should help with diabetic problems and with the pain in leggs, and cholesterol. so I emailed again and told the np that and am waiting for a apt for doc and food doc, and with the phys, still have two more seminars as well. This is not going to be easy, reading and hearing the problems im not so sure will come back when i hear from the hospital for apt with docs. :cry :violin: :pray: for me
