I am waiting for my insurance to kick in, as here in australia is different then america. i need to have had private health insurance for 12 months before i can get the surgery and thats it. so i am currently waiting out that 12 months period i am at 10 months now and just in the process of getting it started. i dont have these pre-requirements like what i am reading on the fourms. hopefully, if all the tests are good in 2 months ill be having it. been a long time waiting for it but been making changes in eating. i say to myself little steps i have removed drinking soft drink from everyday multiple litres to iced tea with less then 50 calories per 2 litres. and eating more better food and not junk food
