Guest guest Posted June 22, 2000 Report Share Posted June 22, 2000 HI, IM new to the list and wanted to get some information regarding this surgery. First things first. I am 33, female and have been overweight all my life. Vie tried many diets with little or no results. When I have did lose a little weight I always gained it back plus more. Now I find myself nearing 300 lbs at an alarming rate. I haven't experienced a lot of health problems as of yet but I know at the rate I am going it wont be long. I have read your letters and comments and I feel there is hope for me after all. I have a few questions after looking at DR Rutledges' website. Any help or comments will be appreciated. If your primary care physician doesn't approve of this surgery can you look elsewhere for someone who does? If your family members don't approve? (after all they aren't the ones 150 lbs overweight) Anyone here have BCBS, and how easy was it for them to get approved? And lastly I saw that you may not be approved if you have had gallbladder surgery. Anyone here have their gallbladder removed and get approved? Thanks for any help you can give.
