Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America

I am 43 years old and have been morbidly obese most of my life. You name the diet and I have tried it. I have lost 50 lbs and gained 100 back, this is my typical yo yo cycle. I am a emotional eater and when my insurance denied my surgery I went into a deep dark hole and gained every ounce I lost prior to surgery.

My insurance denial story..

I have been trying to get a gastric bypass for 2 1/2 years. I finally had an appointment for my surgery on 2/15/2011.. My doctor called to process my insurance and they denied my surgery because in January of 2011 my employer changed the policy to no longer cover the procedure. I was so close, if the appointment was just one month earlier. I have exhausted all my appeals so now I am trying to gather enough money to get this done. I have actually even considered Mexico!! I’ve got to do something…
