  1. Does anyone know if I can get WLS with a history of pulmonary embolisms? (And other questions)

    I'll ask for a sleep study. Thanks! I know I snore, my husband says I do.

    It edits out the abbreviation for Health Maintenance Organization? Really? Why?

    I mean... that's not my reason for getting WLS, my BMI is 40. I (should) qualify. I'm just curious if my history is going to prevent me from getting the surgery. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, what happens if you're on the border like me? I don't have high blood pressure, my blood sugar is tolerable, etc. I don't have a medical reason, I just have the 'over 100 lbs overweight' reason and a desire to have my life back. If they put you on a medical diet and you lose to below 40, can you still have the surgery? Or are you SOL? Has anyone had surgery under a medicare HMO? It *looks* like I only have to pay $250/day in the hospital, which almost seems too good to be true. I wonder if anyone else knows for sure? Am I crazy to be considering this with a BMI of 40 and no real medical reasons? Thanks for any/all help!
