Hi Im new here, I need to lose over 100lbs.
I have a few questions hope someone can answer.Dont have money, does state funded Medi-cal pay for this? I have sleep apnea(well my oxygen drops)diabetes, and have had about 8 operations on my body.. bad arthritis, bad back, knees etc.
2) I have diabetes, but at the same time I can get really bad low blood sugar that comes on suddenly, would this be a problem.?
3)How long are you in the hospital and how long before you can resume normal activities?
4)Im vegetarian, will that complicate things?I eat alot of cheese and drink lots of my cows milk- thats partly why im fat.Otherwise I eat healthy. Just cant exercise really,because of broken back etc
5) Ive heard that some doctors require the patient to loose 30lbs before they will do the surgery - is that true?
(If I could loose 30lbs on my own I wouldnt get surgery.)
Hoping for some advice,
anyone had surgery at UCSF medical center in SF. calif
