You need to get a doctor to start documenting your weight... They will be looking for 6 months of documented weight with possibly notes about what treatment did you receive for your obesity

Make an appointment with your PCP and look for a Bariatric Center of Excellence and schedule a seminar. Your PCP may also be able to recommend a surgeon. I was fortunate in that I started with my PCP and he referred me to an outstanding surgeon.

Sorry got cut off. Get ur test done during that time. 6 Mrs isn't really alot especially with all the rest and clearance u will need.

Contact a Bariatric Program that meets your insurance requirements. They usually have a seminar that you will need to attend first. Find out requirements and take it from there.
