Hi,
I am just starting out and I probably have a ton of questions, but one that means the most...
I have always been overweight, since childhood. So it goes my family is also over weight....every one of them.
I never considered surgery until these past 2 months, when my sisters gallbladder exploded (3 weeks in hospital) contributing factor?- obesity
My mom was hospitalized last month with blood clots, and this week with heart attack. contributing factor? obesity
My dad almost lost his leg...from undiagnosed diabetes. Contributing factor? obesity
I have never been so awake to my own weight problem in my life. I know I am not being too hasty, as I have spent a month and a half rolling this over and researching.
My question is, even though I am pretty sure that I am covered (I meet Tri-Care requirements) should I have my doctor submit a 'family history' to kind of boost my case along...and hopefully avoid any of the appealing that I am hearing about?
