Hi guys, I am 5'4" 215 lbs with small bone frame, I pray they will approve me. I'm going for my first doctor visit this Monday. I have been reading everything I can and watching people's YouTube videos for the last 6 weeks, hours on end. One moment I'm inspired and excited and the next terrified , because of all the different opinions. I have to do something, I have tried so hard, but can't keep the weight off and the last 3 years my physical abilities having been declining and I'm only 56. My feet hurt so bad these days, they truly feel broken and I'm a hair stylist, so I stand all day. My arches are collapsing , my ankles and knees hurt and feel like they are turning inward. I have united healthcare and I know they cover wls, but some people are saying I am not over weight enough, I hope the doctor doesn't say that. Does anyone have similar story and give me some hope please? I live in Louisville ky

Sounds like your BMI is over 35 and you may have co-morbids so I don't see why not. Just make sure it's what you really want and there are no other options? Good luck.
