Good luck to you. To qualify for my insurance to cover the surgery I had to lose 10% of my starting weight, take a weight management class and hav psychological counseling and it took a little over a year. When I first started they required a year and have since relaxed their time frame. I am scheduled for surgery on October 17th and I can hardly wait. I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet and it is not as bad as I thought it would be.

Good luck to you both!

yes that would be great i think everyone needs a partner in this journey and it would be amazing to have someone standing by me who knows what i am feeling!
