Well I had more blood test last Monday and Friday I found out that my A1C is 8.5 and needs to be down to 6.5 before they will do the surgery. I also was tested for H Pylorie and would you know I have it. A bacteria in the intestines. So I am on 2 weeks of medication for this and then 4 weeks after that I will be given some kind of breath test to see if I am clear. If so surgery will be within 2 weeks of that test. So more waiting but maybe in about 8 weeks. keep your fingers crossed for me. Will post my pic soon. Thanks guys! Mattie
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
The hoops may be frustrating, but it is all about making sure your surgery and recovery will be smooth with no complications.

When you look back, you'll realize that time had flown.
