Hi Ask you doctor to do a sleep study to see if you have sleep apnea. Most of over weight people have it put don't know it. I was one of them. I you have it that better your chances in getting approved. I am tri-care prime. I was 100+ overweight, have astma, joint pain, and sleep apnea. What's one more test if it is going to put you one step closer to you goal of WLS. Good luck. Stay positive. Think happy thoughts.:thumbup:
