Accually i didnt do much. I only told the doctor that i was excercising at least 3 days a week. I didnt see a trainer or anything like that. I was worried about that also but I didnt need to worry cause i was approved without it. Good luck to you.

So I was approved today!!! My paperwork was submitted last Tuesday and today I was approved. One week exactly. Very fast. I did only the 3 month weightloss program and my BMI is over 40. i was very suprised that I was approved to tell you the truth. i thought I would have to jump through more hoops to get approved but it was easier than I thought. My surgery is Nov 11th. whats your progress with everything?? update please!!
