    Hi, I'm in the beginning stages of my surgery process. I came in with high hopes, I was hoping I would be able to have surgery within 4 months. Unfortunately I was informed BCBS NC requires me to complete 6 month supervised diet, I won't be able to have my surgery until December [emoji20]. Honestly I am depressed and very disappointed. I've been dealing with my weight issue since Preschool.
    I've been on numerous diets, i've gained all the weight back then some. After attending my biatric surgical practice educational seminar I was extremely excited and ready. So now I'm trying to pick myself up and look at the brighter side of all of this but it's hard.
    Is there anyone experiencing same thing or have any advice? Are you beginning sleeve process?


    I'm with bcbs svc they are making me do a 12 month program. Where in NC are you?
    Honestly take the tone work the program abs learn as much as you can. Really look art this time as the begging off your journey. So not wait until the surgery date too make changes in you're life! I am 7 months into my program and I remember when my doc told me 12 months i envy home and cried. After that I decided if I have to do it I may as well make the most of it. I am down 15 lbs and my doc is trying to get me an early approval.
    You can do it, one day at a time, one lbs at a time.
