What hoops are they asking you to jump through? I'm going through the long stretch with insurance and won't have surgery until December still. I started this back in April. I don't want to go all this way just to have insurance tell me I need to do more.

I'm new here and have just started this journey. I do not have surgery scheduled yet because I have to jump through the insurance hoops. I am hoping to learn how to eat too before surgery. Anyway, I am apprehensive about telling anyone. I mentioned WLS to my bestie this morning. She told me I don't need it. I told my sister my plan and while she seems supportive, she also makes snide remarks like, "I hope you're ready to live with a colostomy bag when the surgery goes wrong." When I required surgery for my shoulder 2 years ago no one told me I didn't need it. I hadn't even been suffering that long with that condition. I don't want to close people out of my life but I may have to so they don't sabotage my decisions.
