Hello,
I am looking for resources, etc, on possibly petitioning Cigna to cover weight loss surgery (they do not cover it at my level). I recently hit 300 lbs and my ankles and feet have never hurt so horribly bad (lower back, too). I'm pretty sure I've met "maximum capacity" of my body.
My husband is adamantly against the surgery due to monetary reasoning; but I feel that if I don't loose weight soon bad things might happen to me. I've already lost a gallbladder.
I have a friend that got DS and she absolutely swears by it.
My doctor states that she doesn't believe in weight loss pills or surgeries, she always gives me this bad diets to try. I would probably have to find another doctor or convince my nueralogist to prescribe it...
I guess I just don't know where to start or what to expect.
