Hi again sara thanks for taking the time to let me know how your experience was.I finally got a response from my insurance and scheduled my consultation, first available appointment one month, wow this sure is popular, anyway the insurance is requiring a six month physician supervised diet did you go through a smiler process and if so when you completed it how long did you have to wait for approval for the surgery and how long till Dr Rosen schedualed it. I'm just curious as i look at the calender and wonder how the next year of my life is going to play out, i feel a kind of nervous excitement whenever i start thinking about it. Hope everything is going well for you and thanks alot for filling me in on some of the details.
