Hello! Im new to this but very interested in speaking with people with information on qualifications for the surgery.Here is a little about me I am 34yrs old I live in phoenix . I am married with no children. Love kids but never been able to conceive.My medical problems are pretty bad I have pcos,hashimotos thyroid,diabetes,high blood pressure,and well they just told me that I have enlarged heart plus an leaky valve in my heart. well all doctors including specialists want me to get the surgery. But of course I have a insurance company that I dont know if they do this type of thing. So if any one has information please let me know..I am in the southwest valley of phoenix arizona. I weigh 322 lbs and am very uncomfortable any ideas or information? If so let me know..

From what I've read, Mercy Care is probably the best insurance company you could have through AHCCCS when it comes to approval for WLS. I'm actually hoping to be approved for AHCCCS at my appointment/interview on Tuesday, and I will definately be choosing Mercy Care. Your co-morbidities (what an awful term, btw) sound VERY similar to mine. Diabetes, high blood pressure, PCOS... I've got the same three, plus narcolepsy, high choloesterol and GERD (acid reflux). Here's the Mercy Care reviews here on OH: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/list-insurers.php?State=AZ&curPg=2&alphaPos=M Hope that helps!

Mercy care is one of the hardest insurance plans to be approved by. Check with your surgeons office after your first consult (or call mercy care directly) to get the most accurate information.
