Ok teresa lets do our homework first off morbid obesity is a disease and not a caused condition where it was your fault. Most insurance company's consider obesity surgery a comsmetic surgery. But the surgery everybody is doing or trying to have on this website is for a cure from morbid obesity. They have to help you it is a disease and they are required to help you. But you need a letter from your doctor stateing that this is medically nesitie(sorry spelling) You'll need to get a current blood draw for testing. They should check thyroid, glucose levels to see if your diabetic and your cholestaral. Also you'll need a current physical exam and a evaution from a dietician and phycholigical evaluation. By the way what insurance company do you have.
