Hello I'm new and starting my journey right now.. I actually already went to my first consult with the surgeon. But my insurance (tricare) is making me do a 6 month supervised weight and excercise program.. I should be having the surgery in jan- feb 2013 :/ but I just want some support I really have no one to talk about this... I actually started a video vlog on YouTube which I want to start documenting all my appointments and updating with everything I have I do pre op and post op. if you guys want to check it out my YouTube username is nikkilvslife

Hey there! WELCOME! Hopefully you will find this forum very supportive! I love it... I kinda think I'm addicted to it. I had to do a six month diet also. When I started, it seemed like it would be forever but now that it's over, I can't believe it went by so fast! There's probably nothing you can go through that someone on here hasn't already been through!

Good luck on your journey!!!

Welcome an good luck! I see the surgeon on the 4th. I was told my insurance needs three months but the surgeon may require more. We shall see. :-). This is a great place for info and support!!!

Hey, I'm just starting too. I see my surgeon on the 5th. I'm not going through insurance so I hope I can have my surgery sooner then later but we'll see what in stored at the appt. I love your idea a vlog and will definitely check it out. I've gotten a lot of info from this forum already just reading and the support is definitely there. Good luck with everything.

Welcome to the group hope 6 months fly by

Thanks I'm kinda confused of how this 6 month thing works

My dr actually said that I could have my surgery the last week of sept.. But my insurance requires the 6 month thing

Welcome to the group!
