I am a 38 year old female, 215 pounds, 5ft 7in. I love carbs and sweets. I carry all my fat in my middle. Before I was placed on BP medication, the highest bp recorded was 180/101. Diabetes runs in the family and Im scared to death of the thought of becoming a diabetic myself. My question is do I qualify for a gastric sleeve and would insurance cover the procedure?
