Hi there! I am a teacher from Georgia and I have UHC. My BMI is 40, I have Sleep Apnea, High blood preassure, asthma due to weight, knee problems, plantar fasciatis, etc, etc, all thanks to this excess weight. I have tried Phen-Phen, Meridia, Nutrisystem, 6 Weeks Body Make Over, among others. I need to know what are the steps to take if I want to have this surgery. I read some people talking about UHC. Will someone guide me, please, as what do I need to do. I do not know if my doctor will be a good help or not because he keeps saying that I need to loose weight, but he does not understand how difficult this is when you are feeling hungry all the time:hungry:. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
