I'm a morbidly obese woman who is suing my health insurer for $700,000 because they refused to cover my weight-loss surgery

Instead of blaming the insurance company how about taking a little responsibility for yourself and laying off the groceries. The insurance company didn’t force feed you.

You seem confused. How did you come up with 70 pounds lost?
Looks like 40 pounds to my calculator.

...Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s “Eat to Live “ diet....

Quote from my doc this week to me "Some people love to eat, and others eat to live." He was blown away that I've learned to eat to live. Best doctor ever.

[Saintgermain]

You are right, actually it is more like 38 lbs. I don’t remember how I came up with that crazy figure. I stand corrected.

[metmom]

If they pre-approved it then backed out, I’d be more inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Otherwise, her weight is her own doing and her own responsibility.

[metmom]

Their recommendations for preventing ozempic face would work well as a weight loss program without the drug.

[metmom]

My contention for weight loss is when you eat, eat the protein and low carb veggies first and start to fill up. THEN eat any carbs, when you are partially sated. That way you won’t binge on carbs. Since you are eating fewer of them, you will lose weight.

celine has a horrible debilitating disease and she has always looked gaunt imo....

[Berlin_Freeper]

Give her 100K in sugar pill placebos.

That billionaire guy who is trying to fight aging with all his pills, treatments, MRIs, etc. looks far worse now than he did before he started his crazy routine one hundred and seventeen years ago

They are refusing because you’re too fat to safely operate on without you dying on the table.

[Samurai_Jack]

Alan Shore and Denny Crane would take this case.

[Clutch Martin]

Is she a diabetic yet?

A neighbor was overweight, disc issues, the sugeon told him to lose 50lbs before he would operate. The neighbor did!

"Ozempic users are going to cause premiums to go up. by the way, It really destroys your face."

I've been on it in the past. No, it doesn't destroy your face. The problem is people lose weight too fast and get that gaunt look because the skin hasn't had time to adjust to the new weight.

[Clutch Martin]

“Eat less, exercise more”

Concur. Eat healthier. I guess some people like stuffing crappy processed junk down their piehole and aren’t going to change for nothing.

[Chickensoup]

How does it destroy faces?

Weight loss changes faces.

And Osborne is really old.
Markle is pretty old too.

[Chickensoup]

No you are wrong

Pay up

[Clutch Martin]

“Wrong. Try reading the article.”

“She had sleeve gastrectomy surgery, where a large part of the stomach is removed and left behind is a narrow ‘sleeve’.”

Stomachs still stretch. It’s like any other organ such as skin, they will continue stretch into larger proportions, even after the “miraculous” surgery.

[Chickensoup]

Actually she is not for that particular surgery

[arthurus]

If she would just get up from the table for more than to go to the bathroom she would not have been in need of that surgery. Se did it to herself. Insurance should not have to cover self induced medical conditions unless it is stated in the policy that such things are covered.
