Well, after having 7 major orthopedic surgeries in 2002 and 2003, I have placed over 90 lbs extra weight from lack of full exercise regiements. This caused Hypetension and treatments, but in 2006, I was forced to medically retire. Without any insurance, I didnt have a PCP until about a month ago. While, my potential lapband surgery was going good, had a new PCP, had my seminar, had my consult, had insurance. However, at my consult, I was only at a 39.75 BMI. and not the min. of 40. So UHC now wants comorbidity docs, and my first born. What blows is that I had a gap in doctors. Has anyone ever had this experience? I knew I should have eaten a Triple Whopper before my appt or loaded myself down with about 20 key rings. This is nuts and demotivating.

Dont use it against me, but Im out in Buckeye (its considered east LA since its so far out here) and just got approved for lap band. So now I guess its just a matter of time. Im sure Ill need some support from somewhere, just gotta find it. Anyone know if there are any west valley groups?
