If you have WLS you will lose 100 pounds in less than 6 months

be careful what you say that is only for a highly above average person. Not everyone looses 100 pounds in 6 months.
State to state workers comp differs so much. I was an administrator for several medial practices and WLS was not covered under workers comp. the back surgery would have been covered and even if your doc HERE IN AZ anyway, wrote specific orders to rapidly loose the weight, prior to the back surgery, it is not WC's responsibility to cover that rapid loss. Your attorney knows YOUR states statutes and laws and limitations, and therefore i would go off of his / her advice. But if you were on the medicaid / medicare/ahccsss, they would cover that WLS and then WC responsible for the back surgery. You could always contact another WC lawyer and just get a 2nd opinion as to what your PA law states regarding that
