Lap-help

So far I've been told.. I can either 1. Gain weight 2.finance 3. Appeal which I plan todo.. Nothing seems to hopeful at this point. I've also not been on supervised diet for 5 yrs but she said that can be dealt with..

I need help.. I'm trying to get the lap band surgery.. My doctor contacted healthlink to see what i needed to get covered.. I have everything covered EXCEPT.. They want me twice my ideal weight fr my height?? Has anyone heard of this the doctor even said this is a ridiculous qualification. I'd have to gain 50lbs to be qualified.. I was wondering if anyone has appealed this qualification and what was your outcome.. Also I'd like to hear from people with healthlink in te st. Louis area.. Thanks alot Nick
