healthfirst. what was your experience ?

I have been changing insurance (mainly to avoid the 6 month diet, just being honest) had HIP then my surgeon suggested I switch to healthplus. I changed surgeons because that guy was a prick. I went a Sleeve info session at Maimonides hospital in Brooklyn, Ny. During the session we were told if we have healthfirst we wouldn't have to do the diet..so being the impatient guy I am, I switched over to healthfirst. Now I'm being told I might have to do the diet. I really want to get this done before I start my next semester of college. Grrr XD

Sounds like a plan! Thank you so much. Did you or your mom have to do the 6 month diet?

My mom has a different insurance... But I was told with health first I just have to do one month of Nutrition visit ... I should be submitting my stuff next week hopefully ...
