I know its hard, but try to be patient. Do whatever they ask you. Are you self pay or insurance? Do you know if you have to do any programs to get approved? I had to do a 90 day diet/exercise/nutrtion program then a pysch eval for Aetna. And now im in the waiting process....waiting while the insurance company will or will not approve the decision that could change my life!! I completely understand how you feel. I occupy my time in here a lot with questions I may have or just looking at others who have met their goal weights (some of their pictures are really inspiring!). Dont feel alone though, we ALL have had to go through some hoops for this.

Hi, I am hoping that insurance will cover it, but I have to jump through their hoops, which I am going to do. I have to join an exercise/diet program that the insurance has as well as all the testing and counseling, and support groups which the closest one is an hour away. I'm hoping that next Tuesday I will know more after I talk to the head nurse. I'm ready to get started everything that I have to do. Did you hear back from your insurance?? I do the same thing, I keep looking at before and after pictures and am determined to not let them discourage me. Good Luck to you and thank you for your post!
