  11. Wow! That is great! I'm still trying to get my medical records sent, they only sent three years worth. I want to do this, but totally scared. I have 80lbs to lose and do not want to fail at this.
  12. Doctor said I am good candidate and now have to wait for other doctor to fax my weight record for last five years, so they can submit to insurance and then see what insurance says. I hate waiting lol
  13. Hi Trinity, good for you! I am going for my first consultation today, very nervous about the whole thing. How has it been for you so far? Any regrets? Struggles or anything you can tell me, would be helpful, thanks! Ranay

  15. Are you not happy with your choice?
  16. Hi guys, I am 5'4" 215 lbs with small bone frame, I pray they will approve me. I'm going for my first doctor visit this Monday. I have been reading everything I can and watching people's YouTube videos for the last 6 weeks, hours on end. One moment I'm inspired and excited and the next terrified , because of all the different opinions. I have to do something, I have tried so hard, but can't keep the weight off and the last 3 years my physical abilities having been declining and I'm only 56. My feet hurt so bad these days, they truly feel broken and I'm a hair stylist, so I stand all day. My arches are collapsing , my ankles and knees hurt and feel like they are turning inward. I have united healthcare and I know they cover wls, but some people are saying I am not over weight enough, I hope the doctor doesn't say that. Does anyone have similar story and give me some hope please? I live in Louisville ky
