Hi everyone,

Great to see such a support system out there. I have been contemplating wls for 6 years and finally have come to peace with it. Actually excited! I have been to the 1st surgeon appt, the 1st nutritionist appt, and have my first family doctor visit in 1 week. I have blue cross of Alabama, so my insurance requires 6 months of monitored weight loss with documentation by my family physician. Goal surgery date is end of January for my 46th bday.

Welcome! I think a bunch of us are in the same boat.....took me 7 years to get to this point...and even after I started this journey, I wasn't at peace with it for a few months.....finally got there (still have some concerns that I think are normal), but am waiting for "the call" to tell me if it's approved....again, welcome, we're glad you're here!!!

I just started as well. My final appointment is November 26th. Good luck to you!

I just finished my second month of the 6 month diet requirement with Blue Cross Blue Shield. It seems to be going slowly, but I'm hoping for a November/December surgery date. It took me a year to get to this point.
