  1. Hello, all. I currently live in Ohio and have gone to a seminar at Ohio State University to learn more about my options for bariatric surgery. My insurance told me that I was eligible, so I started looking into it. It seems my insurance requires a 9-month physician supervised diet before I can do anything else. I have been dieting on my own since March, but that doesn't count toward my 9 months. I will be moving to the Spokane, Washington area next June and was wondering if anyone out there has any insight on doctors/facilities, etc. in the area that they would recommend for me to check out when I get settled in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Linda
  2. Hello, fellow Buckeyes. My name is Linda and I don't live in your local area. I live in Belmont County on the east/central side of the state. I am 62 years old and just found out my insurance covers bariatric surgery. I have tried for many years to keep my weight under control but to no avail. It has just gotten worse and worse and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have diabetes and high cholesterol and have done what I can with medication and diet to try to diminish them, but that isn't working very well either. I didn't realize how many different types of surgery there are until I came to this site and I would appreciate any direction or suggestions anyone can give. I am so very ready to make this life change and want to make the best and most informed decisions I can. I am most likely looking at having surgery done in Columbus at some future date. I hope all of you are doing well and are happy with your decisions. Any of your input would be extremely valuable to me!! Linda
