So...got word back...6 months of supervised weight loss. Im not as disappointed as i thought id be. Perhaps God's way of saying slow down. Lets take this one step at a time.

I had to do the 6month program too. Well I was doing 6 months, then Cigna changed there requirements to 3, but I was already in my 5th month. So, I only got done 1 month earlier.

I think having to do the supervised, gives you time to change habits, learn as much as possible, go to support groups, and generally get in the mindset you need to start your new life.

Good luck, you'll do great I'm sure. :)

Same thing with my insurance. I was hoping for sooner but oh well, it will be here before we know it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
