Ive been in a program for awhile for overweight teens & you have to go threw 6months of it before they actually tell u if ur able to get surgery or if you'll just continue the program if its not severe..

the problem is Im not just overweight Im obese & have lots of weight to lose

I get

Back problems

Problems Breathing

Borderline diabetic

& so on...

Diabeties/Cancer/Obesity & many many others things

like heart attacks/strokes & so on..

all runs in my family &

others things I dont like to talk about!

After only being in the program for 4months My doc told me that shed refer me as a canidate for it & thinks I need it & deserve it but I still have to wait awhile to see if Im actually able to get it..

What can I do to show that I'm a good canidate for this surgery???

It means the world to me & I really want but most importantly need this..

Just hang in there. If your doctor supports you it should happen quickly. I finally have my surgery August 18th. I hope all goes well. Keep us posted.

Hang in there. I found in my experience, that there are a lot of hoops to jump through ESPECIALLY if insurance has anything to do with it. The doctors have to fill out paperwork and put it in for insurance to approve, so the more things they have you do before is like "proof" for the insurance to approve, you know what I mean? I had to go to a support group, dietician, a psychiatrist...all of this to get insurance approval. If your dr. thinks you are a candidate then hang in there, he/she will advocate for you and it WILL happen
