Welcome Christy!

Good luck with the insurance approval, if your insurance covers obesity treatments it does sound like you qualify.

Keep us updated :smile2:)

Hey, Christy. I work at Weight Loss Surgical Center, and I'm trying to be better at visiting this board. I saw your post and wondered how your progress is going. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm at the Overland Park office, but there is another Adam that works at the Independence clinic. He's been busy putting together a support group, so you may want to give their office a call for dates and times: 816-423-8964.
