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 would tell them that my life is about the same as one who would suffer from MS. I have a friend who has MS and she is able to do much more than I am able to do. She can walk farther, do things with her arms and play with her kids. She can take her kids to the park and I can not b/c I can not walk down the hill so that I can watch them. She is given pain meds for her pain and I have the same pain and am told I do not need to become addicted and to take tylenol. I could go on and on......
