Doing my 1st week of 6 month supervised diet.. Not self paying for surgery this time, Insurance is covering the surgery after I meet the last and final requirement of a 6 month diet. Hopefully the time will pass quickly. so far so good!

The 6 months go by SO FAST!!!! I have an Appt coming up on the 9th and one more in March then I am ready for WLS!!!! As it gets down to the wire, I'm starting to feel a bit more jittery/anxious, but all good things!!!!!!

I have a question regarding the 6 months. Does the doctor make you complete a full 6 months like to date or is it just in the 6th month? Like for me will they say 1/21-7/21 or is it 180days? I'm a little confused

You just started too, so I would like to keep in touch. Is that alright? You can friend people on here right?

@MsB7. I'm not sure about it. My insurance is requiring the 6 months so I'm sure it is 180 days. Either way in hoping it puts my surgery date somewhere in or around August or September.

I hope it goes fast for you! I did my first of 6 appointments with my pcp Thursday.

I'm also starting my process must meet with my nutritionist and the surgeon this coming Tuesday, feeling pretty excited, wishing us all a safe a happy journey! ????

I started my 6 months supervised weight loss this month as well. I'm so pissed about it but I know it has to be done. Anyone have any ideas on how to remain positive or tips to make the time go quick?

Annette Arkansas YES I would love to be friends that would be great. I don't know how to friend people on here because I am Really new to this

@@ava32 I don't have any tips however I am just trying to remain positive with faith. Also knowing that at the end of the 6 months you will get the Best Gift/ Prize ever BETTER HEALTH (a 2nd Chance at life). That's pretty much how I am looking at it because with Better health comes Longevity.

Me neither. I'll see if I can figure it out. I did see we can message one another. I'll send you a message.

Thanks, you're right! It is just I have been struggling all my life. And when I found out about the 6 month requirement, I got really discouraged. But I guess it's better to look at the glass half full instead of empty. ????

@@ava32 I have struggled all of my life as well. But they say time will fly. So hopefully it does. I also think about how 6 months is shorter than the 12 months that my sister had to do 5 years ago for her WLS.
