Part A is for Hospital benefits only.  It will pay 80% after annual deductible is met.  Check with a MD office insurance person for more specifics. None of the pre testing or outpatient visits are covered under Part A.  That is Part B.

Starting wt. March/ 2010  385lbs
Surgery wt.  Sept/2010     322lbs
Current wt.  Sept/2013     204lbs
