I finally have insurance!!!!

Well after 5 long years I finally have insurance.  Now dont get to excited because it is the oregon health plan.  Which is state paid insurance.   But to my knowlecge they just started approving WLS after 6 months of supervision with your doc and you also have to have a co- morbility.  If you have type 2 diabetes you are approved even if you are not needing meds yet.  I am pre diabetic borderline.  Lately i have been having awfull dizzy spells where i almost pass out.  My ears ring and the side of my face gets a bit numb.  I can finally go to the doc and see what thats all about.  I also need knee replacement surgery but i really want the weight off first.  I think it would be to hard trying to recover with an extra 100 pounds to lug around.  If any one knows more about OHP feel free to let me know what you know.  As it stands to my knowledge it is covered as long as you have problems medically.  Thanks everyone!!!
