Welcome Christy!

Good luck with the insurance approval, if your insurance covers obesity treatments it does sound like you qualify.

Keep us updated :smile2:)

I'm at the Overland Park office, but there is another Adam that works at the Independence clinic. He's been busy putting together a support group, so you may want to give their office a call for dates and times: 816-423-8964.
