done but didn't keep weigh in papers:sad: so i have to go to weight watchers for 6 months.I have bcbsof michigan.

Welcome Tammy! Try not to be discouraged by the 6 month diet. Use that time to go ahead and get used to the lifestyle changes (eating slowly, taking small bites, chewing more, not drinking within 30 minutes of your meal, eliminating carbonated beverages, etc.). That way, you will lose some weight and it will make it easier once you do get the band. Good luck on your journey! I know it seems like a long one, but 6 months will fly by. Just think...if you lost an avg of 1 to 2 pounds a week (very possible on WW for most people), you could be down 26 to 52 pounds!
