Signed it --- and went through an appeal process that was denied. I met most of the criteria as lined up by the physician community and the Sisters of Mercy denied it. My husband's work plan was changing and the plan he was going to forced me to look in to the Tricare plan the military provides for retirees. THANK GOD!! It's marvelous!! I'm eligible May 1 and should be approved very quickly. The straw that really breaks it is that I can't drop my work insurance until the year's end when you can make changes!

I was very happy to sign this petition. In one year I have lost 235 lbs. I no longer need diabetes medication & testing supplies. I look forward to returning to work soon and being a productive member of society. I believe the cost of this procedure far outweighs the long term costs of meds & treatments associated with morbid obesity. I am so elated that all of my medical problems are reversing as the weight goes off. I am at an age that I will be able to work another 30 years thanks to this life saving surgery.
