Oh yea I forgot I wanted to tell you this...

  During this in between time while you are searching for employment avenues that will include an insurance benefits package that covers WLS, a lot of insurance company's require a previous 5 year physician documentation of being at least over 100 lbs overweight for the past 5 years and some also require documentation of attempted proof of weight loss like weigh****chers or nutri system or jenny craig or a physician supervised weight loss attempt.

  I know money is tight right now and physicians visits cost a lot of money.  I just don't want to see you work at this so hard and achieve your goal only to be blindsided by mandatory insurance requirements that could possibly set you back a couple of years...  You will want to kick yourself for not getting all this along the way...  Insurance company's vary with their requirements so you may not have to have it but I wouldn't want to gamble on that.
