Hi!

Hi! I found this forum just recently and thought I would say hello... I live in Columbus, OH with my partner... I am still waiting for my insurance to approve my surgery. I have to do a 6 month supervised diet before they will consider it...so here I am in month 4...grumble...it's very frustrating, I just to do it now. Has anyone else had to do this 6 month thing? My insurance is med mutual... Mary

Hi Mary, welcome. I had to do the 6 month thing for my insurance also. I'm now 5 weeks away from surgery and still hoping for insurance approval. Keep us posted on your progress. Rachelle

Hi Mary, Welcome to the board. You'll find we're one big family, willing to help in any way we can. Good luck on your beginning journey. Cherry

Thanks, Cherry! I wish this 6 month supervised diet thing would just move on a little faster. It's so frustrating, like being in a holding pattern. Ugh... Mary

Yeah, the waiting part is the worse! I was blessed I didn't have to do the 6 month diet, but I know how hard it is to wait for something you really want. Just hang tuff, stay busy, and before you know it, you'll have the surgery! Take care. Cherry
