am trying to qualify for LB. prior rejection led to 30 lb gain, now at 200 lbs, 5"1 (female) BMI close to 36. co-morbidities are on the mild side, including acid reflux, shortness of breath on exertion (but no cardio disease yet), foot, knee and leg pain, lower and upper back chronic pain, depression, family history of insulin dependent diabetes and heart attack (but I dont have metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes yet).
can any of you in this community guide me on what I could do to optimize my chance of approval? I have excellent insurance which seems to cover most things (IVF, some cosmetic), but this one is uncertain. am going for second consult with new doc on Monday. should I really fill my pockets with rocks? or any other creative ideas to insure success? pls respond. without being dramatic, I have tried everything else and have failed. am not living my life fully due to this disease (no dating, isolating etc) thanks
