New.. just getting started

I met with a surgeon today who was recommened by a friend of a friend ... they told me my insurance requires me to wait 6 months before they allow the surgery .. so I guess that gives me more time to TRY another diet in the meantime ... I'm a little nervous about the whole thing.. afraid of what I've been reading about people saying food getting stuck and coming back up and all.. but in the long run its worth it .. not to have health issues .. or worse.. be dead ...

I've only heard of a six month waiting period in conjunction with diet and exercise...documented by a physician. I'd call tomorrow and get clear info on why the waiting period and what's expected during that time. Did you go to a seminar? They have lots of great info.
