I had the exact same thoughts as you today, actually. I recently decided that the VSG would be a very successful tool for me, but my insurance company also requires the 6 month period with a doctor to lose weight before surgery. If I could do this on my own, I wouldn't be here! However, I imagine as insurance companies go, they need to see commitment from us that we'll do whatever we need to do to make this happen once and for all. Lots of chicken and green vegetables -- tons of Protein and Water. That always works wonders for my weight loss.
I most likely will not be getting surgery until next December -- my company always has a plant shutdown for 2 weeks (which is ideal for having surgery without being noticed) but I'm too close to the shutdown this year and have just started thinking of the VSG as an option...so have to wait another 16 months!
Eeek! Promised my husband I would give natural diet and exercise one more try...
