Guest guest Posted April 11, 1999 Report Share Posted April 11, 1999 my son is 9 and five feet tall weighing in at 172 i am worried sick about him he has different eating habits then me i just eat junk but he will eat sneak off throw up and eat more i think i got him off that kick but it really bothered me when he did it a few times. i am certain i want this surgery but ins will be a problem my insurance pays for NO weigh loss anything. I have my own business but i don t know how to get another insurance through this without them wanting to know why i need more ins and if they know i jjust want more ins. for this procedure won t they turn me dwn? i am still in the beginning of my research of everything but this is my main concern.
