Im a little stressed out over this!

So I have my letter of medical necessity from my Doctor.  But I have been hearing that in order to actually have the RNY surgery while in MaineCare you have to have a severe co-morbidity along with your BMI. The reason why I am so worried is because I do not have any "severe" co-morbidities. I have GERD, shortness of breath, pain in my back, lower extremity joint pain. I dont have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. I have had a sleep apnea test but it said i didnt have it. If you know anything about this please help. I am stresing over this because I may not be able to have my surgery!!

Dr. Toder is telling me that my extreme lower joint pain will be enough along with my BMI of 64.  I have medicare.  I have to use a walker or cane to get around.  Don't give up until you speak with the doctor and their staff.  They are trained in this and can give you better information. 

thank you...i go to my first seminar on the 17th in portland then another in Waterville on the 19th
hopefully someone will help me there!!
