I just got the news this week that the process is approved for me to have the surgery. I've done the weight check -ins for 5 of the 6 monthes. My insurance have given the approval for the head Doctor appointment,which i had on this past Friday. Know I have to do the meal plan counciling. I was 290 then 260 then 230 and then 195. Now I'm 224 and sick of diets. The Weight watchers was the best which has kept me from going back to 290. At 5'1'' I need to be 160 or less and stay at that weight. :thumbup:
