Hi..I have been reading this site on and off. Well GOOD NEWS ..My insurance covers my procedure....BAD NEWS.....I have to go for 3- psych checks, 3 group meeting, 3-4 other specialists(cardio, pulmanary etc) THEN I must see a dietician and council FOR 6 MONTHS BEFORE they will approve my surgery!!!!! Now I am 41 yrs old my BMI is 46...they will only approve 40+, I am at extreme risk for Diabeties, I have bad acid reflux, I have had 2 back surgerys, and 2 ACL surgerys, and 2 scopes on other knee. Do these people want you to die !!!! I recently gained this weight due to the last back problem(about 2 yrs)..I was always around 220-240. Now I am pushing 320 !!!! I have been 300 before but I was always able to lose it w/ exercise and a low carb. Now I just cant do that...My lifestyle will not allow 2 hrs a day 6 days a week. I dont want to lose too much weight before I have a chance to get the surgery (perm solution) These people are crazy !!!!!! Thank you for letting me VENT!!!
BTW does that leg weight trick really work????:confused2:
