    Hello Middletown, New York area

    Mary, My MD is in Middletown, my insurance co. said I had to wait 6months with a weight and food track before they will approve surgery the person who does the insurance at Dr Kwon does not think I will have any trouble with it because I have co-morbity problems. But all the testing I have had and all the Md's I have seen have been paid for by insurance with out problems my primary doctor allready wrote a leter and my psych eval will be done by my own PhD I too have always struggled and have lost hundreds of lbs. it never stays off and i still have to do the 6 months Let me know how you are making out Liz

    Hi Mary, I have not had my surgery yet I have not met Dr. Kwon yet only his staff according to my insurance co. I have to be under MD care for 6 months with weights. I see my medical Md frequently but would not let him weigh me so now I have to wait. This I find very hard to do Ito have fought my weight all my life and hae lost and gained hundreds of pounds Do you have to loose a % of your weight first before you can do surgery? I have to loose 12% that I have done keeping it of is another story. Let me know how you are doing Thanks Eliz
