so i posted a few times but now im worried i wont be aproved.. im 5'6 about 225 lbs.. im not sure what my ACTUAL bmi is but online its about 36....... i dont have diabetes or sleep apnea or any of those things really........ however i have been seeing a psychologist for the past year about my weight problems, i was ALWAYS overweight my whole life, and i finally kicked my ass into shape (pardon my language) and lost 100lbs on my own 3 years ago, and as soon as i hit my goal i just went into a depression and gained it ALL back plus more. i started getting bad anxiety attacks and coudlnt breathe, and was put on zoloft....... now anytime i eat which is all the time i get horrible breathing problems and im pretty sure its from anxiety.... i cant get on a diet and stick to it, ontop of that i think the Zoloft is fighting agasint my weight loss b/c once i was put on that is when i started gaining alot of weight.......
now...
since im not like i said morbidly obese, has anyone had this issue before... would a letter from a psychiatrist/psychologist be safice or a added push with the insurance company for aproval that its altering my life and making me have bad thoughts blah blah blah????????
