What would you ask 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 let them know that we are put at the mercy of our insurance carriers for them to decide if we live a fruitiful life or do do we vegitate with our illness and co morbidites wait for God to deal us our hand at life. In researching for my journey to began I found that I wanted to live and did everything possible to get ready for this. They need to understand that this is the only way out for some of us. We take the risk and hope for the best. I am so far a perfect example of this surgery working at its best. I feel wonderful and my health is returning back to its livable , enjoyable lifestyle.
