I have yet to set up a consultation with a doctor, but have the paper work to start filling out before I can agree on an appointment.

How likely of a candidate would I be for coverage from my insurance? I know all insurances are different, and they all have their set of rules. I just don't know if I would even be considered.

Like most of you all, I've always struggled with weight. I've been able to lose weight, then gain it back and so forth and so on. This time around it's much worse as I had my spine fused a year ago, and have gained 70lbs and am in a lot of pain. I know it's largely because of the weight gain. With me being in pain it's very hard to eat healthy and find the energy to work out. Even if it's low impact excersising. I have a family history of type two diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and I have asthma. Not sure if with all of this if it would even get my foot in the door. I'm 5'8 Male 265 lbs and 29 years old. My fusion was an L5-S1.

Just looking for some input. Thanks!

Call your insurance and ask if they cover it, it should take no more the 5 minutes of your time and and you'll know exactly what needs to be done. I thought i'd have to jump through hoops, but I didnt . Good luck.
