I have my 1st Doctors appt. tomorow and can not wait. But I am nervous at the same time. This is only to get a refural so that I can see a surgon. I hope I meet the requirements. I am 260 lbs and I am 5 foot 4 I have high cloertrol, foot problems, Asthma, mirgrains and insomnia. Not to mention back pain as well.

Wish me luck please.:thumbup:

Hi Susie,

At your weight and height your BMI alone will qualify you. You seem to have other "comorbidity" issues as well, that should qualify you also. I had to document (with my PCP) all the times I attempted to loose weight and failed. The ins. co. wanted to make sure I had tried other avenues of weight loss before they approved this. I would write down (before you go to your primary dr.) all your attempts (with his help or on your own) all the attempts you tried to loose weight...thats a good place to start.....Good luck, its gonna be a long road from PCP to approval, but trust me, well worth the wait! :thumbup:
