Sparkle36703 1 Posted November 13, 2015 Hopefully Tuesday I will have some good news. I have to go in talk with my doctor again and see if he will do me a referral to Dr.Miles even though he is in my insurance network they said I would still have to get a referral from my primary dr yes I qualify for the surgery bc I am 5'8 and 400+ lbs with high blood pressure, diabetic and I think sleep apnea. So hopefully Monday he will approve it for me and I can start my process Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
