    Did you ever get this approved?  Did you have surgery?  I've been declined this surgery "due to having my diabetes under control with medication" -- yet every doctor I see states clearly: if you would lose weight you.....the issue is I've tried for 25 years to lose weight.  This surgery is my last hope to achieve better hearth to live a better life.  Plus I have other conditions that would be better my weight was more in normal range.  I feel hopeless right now.
