Yes my BMI is 36 with hypertension. The 6 month supervised is an insurance requirement. I've debated WLS for over 6 years. It's just frustrating because if I could lose weight and keep it off on my own I would not have considered WLS. Of course the 6 months is used for additional behavior modification to increase post surgical compliance and success ... I get it, I'm just ready for the next chapter. Thanks for the replies.
