You sound like you qualify to me

Hi Colleen

You sure sound like you qualify to me. Gosh diabetes, thats scary.

I feel very fortunate. My BMI was 45 and the only serious thing I

had was severe gerd. Thank heavens my doctor sent me and that I was

accepted so easily. I think the sooner they do this on us the less

illnesses we can avoid. Kaiser Southern California sends you to a 12-

week class its called " The Bariatric Surgery Class " its a 12-wwek

mandatory class. Then they send your paperwork to Los Angles and

you're approved from their and then go for your surgery appt's. My

surgeon said if I had been any smaller she wouldn't have done the

surgery. I was a hundred pounds over weight. I think that should

qualify people. The 12-week class was very good. We also had to go

to a seminar put on by the surgeons. Anyway my prayers will be with

you that they process you quilckly so no other problems will occur.

Good luck in your journey.
