Im from michigan and going to the ypsilanti center. I had to do the 6 month diet thing and my god did i get sooo frustrated but , i cried my tears and wiped them off and kept at it. just found out i was approved last week to go ahead with the process but it will take a couple of weeks to get my dates for pre surg appointments and surgery date. It will pass and you will prepared because even now i feel i aint prepared enough but thank god i have a mother in law who went through and she is being helpful . What type of insurance do you have?
