Last night I attended a support group meeting and learned that there are doctors who do not accept people who have Bipolar as patients for WLS. This has me puzzled. How are there so many post ops with bipolar? Is this not true for most doctors? I know several who have had WLS who have Bipoloar or do people purposely not tell bariatric surgeons this because they know they'll get denied?

Topic: Intro....

Hi Ladies and Gents!

I'm Nessa from Orange county.....
Well I'm the new kid in town I guess lol... I been reading up on all the different types of surgeries for a few years now, but didnt really want to make a commitment till now. I recently had gained more weight then should be on this little frame of mine and my health is starting to take a turn for the worse...My fiance is afraid of losing me and so is my mother...but to be honest I'm afraid of losing them both as well... all three of us are big and maybe by me looking into the WLS idea... will possibly get them motivated to change as well.w

I'm Changing my life for me, no one else!
