Hello @Leoakie86. I feel you. I just submitted all my info to my insurance co. today and hopefully I get approved. I weigh 233 lbs but my friends say I'm not big enough for surgery. They don't realize that just because I look happy I feel tired all the time and my bones hurt. I'm only 31 and I shouldn't feel so crappy. My father and pretty much every male figure in my family has diabetes and that's not what I want for myself. Reading your post helps me to see and know that I'm not alone.
