    Hey John,

    Welcome - I am a T1 paraplegic from a rare virus called Transverse Myelitis. I have been paralyzed for 23 years.

    I am currently in the process of getting weight loss surgery. Well, I've completed everything, but insurance AND Medicaid denied me. Appealing and hoping we hear something soon.

    Be happy to answer any questions you may have.
    HW: 245.4 SW: 243 CW: 160 GW: 135


  10. Said thanks:
