hi jigboy, i too had humana. but,,,,the 6 mo. diet thing is just a doc. preferabblly your pc, typing a letter saying that u have tried in the last 6 months different diets but to no avail. tell him u tried, atkins, wt. watcher, tops, nutrisystem etc. or watever u tried and did loose a little but gained it back. all u need is a letter stating this from a doctor. humana approved me within a week. fill out ur paper work the wt. loss dr. sends you and your support letter 'thats what it is called from ur personal doc.' and all the paper work. you should not have a problem. you dont have to 'PROVE' you were on these diets. just give an approximate date of when u did try them. you do need to have a bmi of over 40 or a comorbitie such as diabetes, high blood pressure or be over a 100 pounds overwt. if i can help u more, my email addy is 'chubgirl2003@yahoo.com. humana has their own bariatric program now too

hey i cheated big time on my 2nd week. i ate fried chixen, bbbq ribs, beans, potatoes, bbq chicken, and the works. i did this 3 nites in a row and never got sick or vomited. i have no restriction either. i was mainly concerned if i did some damamge to the band cause they say the soft diet is for the stomach and insides to heal up. so i am confused too and u are not alone. im back on track as of yeasterday tho. it is so hard not to eat
