My health coverage is really good and I've read the policy line by line to make sure that I'm not missing anything, but the only true requirement that I see is a BMI above 40 or more. My BMI is 54. My first appt. with my surgeon is on Monday (or Tuesday). Anyway - I have been very against WLS, and was affronted when my doctor suggested it to me back in June. Since that time I have been researching web sites and talking it over w/my DH. My long lasting conclusion is that this is the best choice for me right now in my life. I *so* *want* *to* live my life. There are so many things I want to do and I'm so tired of saying " next year we'll cross country ski.. " as it seems I'm always in and out of some kind of diet.
