I have been thinking of doing this for several years, I have multiple health problems and a BMI of 41....
I have been to the Bariatric Surgery Center in the Quad Cities and been through all the preliminary steps (nurse visit, dietician visit, phychiatrist visit).  I meet with the surgeon next Tuesday.  Unfortunately my insurance does not cover the surgery, even though I have type II diabetes, hypertension, degenerative arthritis in my knees, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, etc. etc...  I feel that this is so important to my health and happiness that I am going to pay for the surgery on my own, i want to be around for my kids and eventual grandkids!!  Wish me luck with my surgery appointment on Tuesday, I will keep you posted on what is going on.....
