Good luck to you. To qualify for my insurance to cover the surgery I had to lose 10% of my starting weight, take a weight management class and hav psychological counseling and it took a little over a year. When I first started they required a year and have since relaxed their time frame. I am scheduled for surgery on October 17th and I can hardly wait. I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet and it is not as bad as I thought it would be.

Good luck to you both!

thank you both and yea my insurance just required that i meet with a counselor once then with the nutritionist for six weeks and then for a doctor approval letter.

I am soo excited we should be meeting and talking about what the operation will be like and discussing when and what needs to be done next i am still excited to get a better time frame i cant wait omgoodness and oct 17 thats amazing good luck dear

yes that would be great i think everyone needs a partner in this journey and it would be amazing to have someone standing by me who knows what i am feeling!
