I'm IN the program

[ynona74]

I just got off the phone with Bariatric Resources Optium Health, which is who my United Healthcare Insurance uses for WLS. Weighing in at 242lbs. I am at a BMI of 40.3 I am still going to get tested for Sleep Apnea, so if my BMI drops below 40 then I'll still qualify if I have it.
Thank you to all for your help and support. Especially Diane Cox. I'll be contacting a surgeon here in Fountain Valley Regional Hospital. For their program, so I can get started on my new life.
Happy New Year to everyone. And THANKS again.

Congrats! It's definitely good to be tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, they'll have to monitor you closely during surgery.
