Hi Lee, thanks for writing. I don't see how a pelvic problem will contribute to weight gain or loss. Maybe you need to ask a more specific question, but usually the problems associated with obesity are diabetes, join and muscle pain, blood pressure and sleep issues. Not necessarily bone issues, such as the pelvis. You would have to visit with your surgeon and your doctor and see if your pelvic issues are causing your obesity and then bring that to your insurance company. Take care, Patricia P.

I think if your obesity is the cause for the pelvic problem or if it makes it worse it may qualify. Only your doctor would know that. I never hurts to ask.
