Question:
Need ammo to fight insurance

HELP!! I need information from anyone post-op. the information I am looking to compile is what BMI were you when you started? What co-morbidities did you have. and most importantly, what complications developed during and after your surgeries. This can be any imformation, but I am looking to reenforce my opinion that surgery would probably have a better outcome if done before several life-threatening morbidities set in.

Prior to insurance approval, I had high blood pressure, sleep apnea, diabetes all over in my family, though I did not have it yet, and I suffered valve damage to my heart from taking phen/fen. I was approved first time. I was one of the lucky ones, though I know had they denied me, I had enough ammo to fight back. Good luck to you!
