annieM 2 Posted December 1, 2010 Welcome! You are about the same as I was when i started my journey. I ended up being self-pay because my insurance wouldn't approve me. Best move I could have made. Now I stay around 150, and all of my health problems are gone. I'v e gone from a size 20 to a size 6 and can wear all the latest styles. What fun. Every insurance is different so do try and get approved, your doc's office should help you get a list of what hoops they want you to jump through. Most want a 6 month supervised diet, a psych eval, ekg, nutrition interview, and referral from your general doctor. If you can't get approved, consider self-pay. Your doc's office may even have some financing info available. Or you could go to Mexico for cheap. Lots of possibilities. Good luck on your journey, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
