How did you know?
it was my health, I was on a downward spiral with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes. I had been in the hospital (April 2013) with a bad abscess in my private region and they said it was due to my sugar being out of control, decided to focus on my diabetes, taking ten oral medications plus shots and still not in control, I brought up WLS and my doctor said I was a perfect candidate for it, and then it snow balled from there, had surgery in December 2013. I had lots of complications during the surgery ended up in the hospital for a month but now feel like I can say it was worth it.

You will need to call them and find out if there are exclusions to the plan for bariatric surgery and if no exclusions they will be able to send you the guidelines lined out in your plan

I have been in a stalled area for almost a year. Part of me says just be happy where you are, but then part of me is ticked as I never broke into the 100's. I so badly want to loose this 47 extra pounds and get to goal but nothing seems to help
