how extremely frustaringfor oyu, the insurance company's do not want to pay for this. i am waiting tio hear from mine and i know they will say no, my doctor already said they will say no! its a night mare! hang in there!! when i told my mother what the doctor saidshe replied "good i didn;t think you should do that terrible thing anyway" i told her that i was going to have the surgery, if this group did not approve me, i would go to another one! the fact that i will evenutally have wls is not in question!
