Lightweight newbie and DS question

Hi ! Just a few words.... My BMI was 40, High BP, high cholesterol ,sleep apnea, and type 2. All these issues were resolved. Although I do get low sugars when I eat too many carbs and my pancreas dumps in extra insulin. As for a doctor look to DS facts or to the DS forum here but there are many great doctors out there. Mine of course is the best ( Anthone) ...lol...but Dr Sudan is great as well. As for insurance ....I was lucky that mine was covered but many do not or will try not to ...why? ...I don't know but try hard to get it done as I think it is the gold standard in weight loss surgery.
Good luck....Jeff
