Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 Hello all! I just love this group! I'm really getting a kick out of the support and honest answers being shared. I have been considering this surgery for a few weeks now and I guess I'm worrying the most over my insurance company covering this. Do you think it would help to send a letter to them from my PCP when I send Dr. R's letter? I've got my husband's support on this. I went to visit my mom last week and told her about this. She told me to go for it and she sat down with me and shared alot of family medical history I didn't even know about. Let's just say that the deck is really stacked against me. I am 270 with a BMI of 46, however, I am not experiencing any major health problems yet (although I am begining to feel the warning signs) I'm worried that my insurance company will say " You're just not sick enough " and that they would prefer me to be on my death bed. I'd really like to see this as preventive medicine for myself, rather than the cure later on for more serious problems due to my weight, if that makes sense. Just wanted to share this and I hope to get some encourageing comments and answers. Thanks for listening....
