Hey Mrs Donna, I too am a newbie and waiting to get approved but my insurance requires me to do a 6 month diet to lose 10% of my body weight so for now I'm just waiting it out doing weight watchers. I hope you get approved!!

That 6 mos. will go by so quickly. Next thing you know you'll be lying in the hospital getting prep for surgery. I didn't loose the 10% (thats why we need the surgery). Hang in there.
