If your referring to me, I have medicare. I'm going for the six month wait period with the diet, so I know that is ahead already. I also have stuff as early as 2002 saying I was obese. I've been overweight since childhood. I have a couple co-morbidities, but it takes time to gather paperwork and such. If you want to chat, I have aim. I have yahoo too...but I never use it ^^;; Fae

I'm actually in the same boat you are in. I have not applied, but I have been told I have a good chance. So I have been researching like crazy, trying to gather up enough papers for my co-morbidities and the length of time I have been obese. I'm scared to death of getting denied, since I know how picky insurance companies can be. I have no money for something so expensive, so this is my only chance as well. I'm wishing you luck. Fae

I have medicare and I heard you need a psychological eval before getting approval. I have maniac depression and obsessive complusive disorder. Both are controlled well with medication. Though I was wondering, would this stop you from getting your approval? Do you need no mental disorders to pass the eval? Has anyone else passed with one of these with conditions? Fae
