Interesting read this on AOL The financial cost of remaining obese, which includes<br style="line-height: 0.8em; "> Medications, doctors fees and procedures Food expense Hiring others to do tasks you cannot do Limited opportunities for high-paying jobs: (The Council of Size & Weight Discrimination estimates that heavier-than-average workers will earn $100,000 less over a 40-year career) Higher insurance costs Higher clothing costs A recent report by the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services recently found that the cost of being obese, including the dollar value of years lost due to early death, was $6,518 a year for men and $8,365 a year for women.

Wow what a change from your last picture!

That's great news.

I think because are always told to lose only 1-2 pounds a weeks from Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, books ect. Everyone is thinks oh you should lose it slow and if you lose fast it's unhealthy. All the WL programs out there want you to lose slow, the longer you take the more money they make!

Jillian's comments were on her Facebook page I de-friended her skinny butt.

Jillian Michaels This sucks. There are long term solutions out there that are safer and cheaper. DIET, SELF EXPLORATION, EXERCISE. Panel recommends expanding use of stomach bands - USATODAY.comwww.usatoday.com If the old fashion way works than why I am here? Not everyone can quit there job and go on a TV show and excercise 8 hours a day.

Yay that's great news!

Keep fighting and don't give up.

I wouldn't worry about it. Kaiser didn't even ask for any of docs I had for Weight Watchers.They just ask you if you have tried before.

How to Get Your Health Insurance to Pay for Your Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy By food that a person can eat. In addition, the part of the stomach that is removed is the part of the stomach that produces the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates feelings of hunger. Removing that part of the stomach reduces the appetite. It is an effective treatment for morbid obesity, but it is very expensive. Difficulty: Challenging Instructions 1Call your sleep apnea, diabetes, or high blood pressure. You may also have to have a documented history of obesity going back several years. There may be other requirements, as well. 5Study the criteria your insurance company sends you and see if you meet the criteria. Contact your doctor if necessary to make sure your medical records document a history of obesity. 6Talk to you doctor about which weight loss surgery would best meet your needs. Or better yet, make an appointment with a bariatric surgeon to discuss which surgery would best meet your needs. Specifically, talk about the vertical sleeve gastrectomy and why you feel that surgery would be best for you. 7Have your doctor or surgeon write a letter to your insurance company explaining why the vertical sleeve gastrectomy would be more appropriate for you than lap band or gastric bypass. For instance, you can expect to lose more of your excess weight with vertical sleeve gastrectomy than with lap band. The vertical sleeve gastrectomy also has lower rates of complication than lap band or gastric bypass. If you currently have Iron deficient anemia, gastric bypass might not be right for you since it causes malabsorption of Vitamins and minerals and you are already low on iron. If you have arthritis or another condition that requires you to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), gastric bypass would not be appropriate for you because gastric bypass patients are not supposed to take NSAIDS due to the increased risk of ulcers. Have your doctor clearly explain why the vertical sleeve gastrectomy is the best procedure for you, and send scientific date to back it up. 8Your insurance company may initially deny your request. If that happens, you should appeal. There is no guarantee that you will be able to get them to cover your vertical sleeve gastrectomy, but many people have been successful in getting theirs covered with persistence and diligence.
