What would you say to a politician who could help you???

Hi Friends! It's me again, your trusty pest, continuing to ask you for info that will aid in my lobbying the government on a local, state and national level to eliminate obesity discrimination AND to make insurance coverage for surgical weight loss a mandatory benefit. Even though I'm in Alabama I am working to lobby all 50 states. It's pay it forward time..........can you please, please help me by answering this question. If you could sit face to face with anyone in power and make a difference.....what would you say to them about WLS and how it will change or has changed your life? Hugs, Rona Your Bari-Godmother

I am not sure if this is exactly what you wanted but here it goes. I would put the person in power in a realistic fat suit like they use on tv and make them spend a week being a obese person. Let them see what it is like to feel the discrimination. I would only hope that would help the situation. As for things that have changed. I am only one month out today but I am now able to go down to the basement to do the laundry. We have lived here for 18 mths and my loving husband has done the laundry for all 5 of us plus working and this week I was able to make it down to do the laundry. He almost cried. I have went from the super morbidly obese to just now morbidly obese. All that in just one month I can't wait for the future to happen. Diana 312/283/?
