I started in January and went in every month to get weighed and talk to the PA. I had to write down what I ate and she helped me make better choices. After six months, my info went to our insurance company and I heard back (yes) in two days!!! Got scheduled, etc. and my surgery is Tuesday!! So excited, scared and lots of other emotions. With the 6 months, I dropped 15# and with the protein fast, I'm down another 15.
