One of the ladies at the insurance company said, "You are so lucky to have this insurance. They take very good care of their people." |
I don't have any copies of my doctors visits..... i'm sure medical records will show my weight over the years?
I hope it goes as easy as most people......
I do have sleep apnea and it is diagnosed and I have been on a CPAP machine for almost 5 years now. And, my BMI is over 40..... so, you would think I would have no problems.
