My mother is a diabetic and an overweight as well. In my line of work, I do research on the Internet, I happen to have seen one site that gives a free copy of a report done by Julianne Kennedy. I thought it was another spam but then when I pointed my browser at http://www.weight-loss-surgery-secrets.com/controversial/free_wls_report.htm, realized that I only have to enter my e-mail address and voila!! I got myself a free copy. You should get one too. I was not even forced to click on ads.

I am 47 years old and have had diabetes for several years. I have been over weight since I was 12. I also have sleep apnea, high blood pressure and some nerve damage in my feet. My Dr has tried several oral medications and now several types of insulin and I can't being the sugar levels under 250. We've talked it out and the only solution I have is the Bariatric surgery. I went to a seminar on it and have read everything I can find and am prepared to make this huge change in my eating habits and life. Unfortunatley I am stopped dead in my tracks. I have insurance through my employer with (Anthem Blue Cross PPO). They have an exclusion on the policy for type of surgery even for medical reasons. The reason - because the business has less than 10 employees on he plan - if we had over 10 the coverage would be offered. I am outraged - is this not discrimination? Do you have an suggestions who can help me? As I try to find a solution all I can do is try to preserve the little bit of health I do have and pray for a miracle.
