are you overweight to the point where you can have surgery for it since you physically cant excersize? my mom had gastric bypass surgery because her doctor said her weight was interfering with her health and her life. she tried every diet, jenny craig, weight watchers, adkins, south beach - all of them. and nothing worked. she went to bally's 3 times a week and walked on the treadmill as well as walking outside. shes 55 so she cant do very hard physical activity either. she had the gastric bypass on march 26th of 2003 (i think??) and she has lost over 100 lbs. granted her stomach is the size of an egg but she is much healthier and gets around much better. i know there are a lot of health risks that go along with the surgery but those risks arent much worse than a heart attack, stroke, diabetes or the many other health problems that go along with being overweight.

i think insurance covers it if its proven to be a health risk for you. maybe you should talk to your doctor about some kind of treatment?
