Hi..me again. I just wanted to offer you support on your journey. I have been through the jumping through the hoops with 2 Drs, changed insurance and I know how you feel, somewhat. It exhausts you, doesn't it. I did good while seeing the nutritionist for 6 months that I had to do to qualify. I guess it was a goal and knowing I had to step on a scale in front of a stranger every month, plus the fact that I tried as hard as I could to follow her advice and I actually lost 20 pounds before surgery. So good luck on whatever avenue you go on!...Sandra
