Hoping insurance covers this

[zaknjordansmom 35]

I'm a 34yr old mom of two boys of will be 15 on may 15th and the lil one is 3 1/2! I've been a big girl since I can remember, my highest weight was 380 and now I'm around 270. I'm so ready for a life change!!! It sucks when your life has been on hold for so long because of this weight!!! Ugh!!! Gotta stay positive. I love reading all of your posts about your journeys it is so inspiring!! I hope I'll be able to get off the bp meds and cpap machine, and that the symptoms from pcos subside.. Praying for you all much love

Wow, you lost 110 pounds on your own!!! That is great!!

Insurance is usually based on BMI and co-morbidity issues... being on a CPAP would be a co-morbidity issue, and along with a high BMI hopefully your insurance will indeed cover it! Easy enough to call them and check; and they may have requirements for following a two to six month supervised diet program, and pysch evaluation, before approving surgery. Most of that stuff is handled by the WLS surgeon's office.

Good luck to you!
