Hi My Name is Martha and I have an appointment to talk to my Dr the last of this month, and I feel HOPE for the first time in so long! I have dieted and battled weight all my life, but when my job early Medically retired me , I just lost it I guess and now I am over three hundred (been to ashamed to even go see my doc)I might pass out when I see what the actual weight is, I know it's more. I just found out that My insurance will pay for this if Obese, with a subsequent factor.Does any one know what this means? I am thinking high blood pressure for one, but wondered if there are others. I live near winston salem are there any support groups close by? Thank you for being here, I am psyched!

Thank you julie, you have done Great!I have high hopes for this

You go, Curvy Girl:)

Thank you Renebean and Marjon9 I love your slogan Former fat chick. I don't even care if I have the floppy skin (maybe later I will , haha) but I really don't want to have to have 10 pall bearers toting me, and man I don't want pall bearers for a LONG time ...now.

Hi Mark, I am sure the person that told me this was covered probably used another term, but my mind started racing when I heard that magic YES word, no telling what I missed hearing lol. If done on an outpatient basis cost is $100....will be hoping for this one! inpatient I pay 10%, big difference there, but I am NOT griping! I am considering eating a nice salt sandwich to up my odds of having another condition! yes I am pretty desperate!

Thank you Wheetsin, that was what I meant! Never thought I would celebrate Joint pain, but YAHOO!!
