Maybe there it is easier. Here in the US there is red tape and hoops insurance companies make you jump through before they will consent to pay for partial or all of the procedure. Some insurance companies are easier to go through then others. Also some that are more than 300 or so pounds may find the path easier ( in my opinion) due to their severe need to become healthy. I myself need to lose about 120 pounds. Still a lot but not as much as some people. I am just glad my journey back to my old self and health is underway! What has been some successes you ladies have had?
