So excited to have a surgery date buddy!!!!

Congratulations!!! I also have BCBS. 12 month diet OMG. My insurance waived a diet requirement due to my BMI being over 50 and having other health related issues. I'm happy you got your dates.

My insurance company told me I should know within 14 days. I'll add you to my prayers! Happy to have a buddy as well.

It's a 12 month educational program...not a diet. Though I have lost and gained some along these 12 months. Congrats for being able to skip the 12 months. I wish I could have, but such is life.

Thanks. I wish I could do the 6 month diet though only cause I feel like I'm not ready. I think about food so much but I just try and take it a day at a time. I'm surprised I've lost this much weight so far. I'm staying strong though. Thanks.

We've got this!!!
