So glad to hear you are going to get insurance August 1!! That's just around the corner and you might have to hurry to get things moving by then.

Most insurance companies require you to prove that you have had a medically supervised weight loss program for at least 6 months....they are pretty srict about it - most require you see your doctor at least once a month every month, get weighed, have your doctor record your weight and write into your medical records that he has discussed weight loss procedures with you. You'll need to have a doctor that is willing to cooperate with you to prepare for weight loss surgery and then write a letter indicating that he thinks you could benefit from it. Not all PCP's are in favor of wls...make sure yours is on board with you and will support you.
