I have taken the first steps in my journey and now i am awaiting the approval from my insurance company. I would love to at least chat with others in my local area. Are any of you great people from South Florida?

Six months is pretty accurate. Cigna required a 3 month supervised diet but I've seen some on here- a lot who had a 6 month requirement so it all depends on that. Just don't wait to do any other testing. When you begin the diet do the rest of your testing requirements right away. Then you will be ready to get your surgery date when the diet info is submitted.
