wondering if i can join?

Hello, my name is Casey. I am 24( in like 2 weeks) I haven't had the surgery, but I am planning to pending my insurance approval. I go to my first seminar july 23. I was hoping to talk to some people and learn about how this is working. I am a little worried because im not sure who makes the "Last Resort" decision, I have been overwieght my entire life, its just recently gotten to a point where i am very ashamed of myself and i want to do something positive about my weight, i have tried diets only to lose like 3 pounds and gain back 12, i have tried pills, i currently walk about 3 times a week and chase a toddler around. I am afraid that my insurance wont cover the surgery. Did any one else have the " we will cover your surgery but only as a last resort" thing on their insurance? If so let me know how it works please!!!

look forward to talking with ya.
