Welcome and welcome back.  It's tuff I know but you are back on track. Keep your head high.

 Which ins. co. do you have?        Maybe some of us that have/had the same ins can give you some "pointers" in dealing with them ..   

You can always appeal the decision about having to lose the 10%....I'm confident that you if dug into the insurances files, you'll come across many many people who never lost their 10%.  so if you challenge them, they'll more than likely approve you.

DON'T give up now....Believe me, my RNY saved my life and it's allll worth it.  As I'm sure you're well aware, weight continues to creep up and it does not get any easier later in life.  So, my recommendation is to pursue this and then you'll know what I'm talking about....Good luck!
