DONNA1959 0 Posted June 7, 2010 It's july 12th. i started this process almost a year ago and am soooooooooo glad it's almost here. i first went to Dr. Cywes in jacksonville last june. my husband had to have open heart surgery in july so i had my next appoint ment in august. i ate my way through his surgery (stress eater) and gained ten pounds by the time i went back. my insurance requires a six month program so i started that. i was denied the first time and then asked for reconsideration. i finally had to have a peer review before they said ok. my bmi was over 50 and i have a few comorbidities. i've lost a littel over 30 lbs since last august. i can't wait. i'm taking two weeks off from work. i haven't written much in this forum but i have been reading it for months now and have learned alot from all of you. thanks!
