I haven't tried any shakes, got a few free samples. I'm waiting until after surgery, a lot of ppl including my nut. And dr, said taste buds will change. Didn't wanna spend money and not like them.

Froggy, like Blue, I went through Cigna. I am doing absolutely great which still feels strange to say it. It has been 3 weeks today and the difference in my life is remarkable already! Thank you. IF you have to wait 6wks, just utilize the information you were given going through the process and get your life prepared for a life changing blessing! keep us posted!¡

I'm only at 35 bmi I would hate to go to the exercise and dietary and lose weight and then they tell me no

how far into the process are you ?
