Getting discourage in GA
wow your not that far from me. Well so far as the process it depends on what your insurace requires. My insurace required 4 months supvised diet. 2yrs of me being over weight ( i had to get that from my doctor) and a bmi over 35. So you would have to check with your insurace to see what they require.
