  17. I go in on feb 9 for my 1st appt. I am worried though i have cigna insurance and they require 6 mo. Supervised diet. I am at 35 bmi with high blood pressure, depresion & borderline high cholestral. Im afraid if i lose any weight they wil deny me. Any advise anyone? Just a side note i have been on just about every diet out there.....weight watchers probably 70 times, slim for life, atkins, jenny craig & alot of different diet pills & a bunch of gym memberships. Nothing seems to work. Thanks for all your advise
