Well  the  journey  has begun.  I went to my  PCP last  week  and  he  is  sending a referral in for  the  dietition/ nutritionalist.  He  said  he  didnt  know  the  length of the  diet  anthem Blue Cross HMO  will give  me.....i  heard they revised their  length of  time  from  6  months  to 3...i  dont  know  but  the  thought  he  put  the process in  motion is the first  step!  He  said i qualifed.... my BMI  is 52  with my  wt  and sleep apnea  he  said i am a prime candidate for it  SO  YEAH!  scored  big  hurdle  .....  so stay  tuned!:)

Good Luck with everything. I hope it all goes really fast.  The waiting is terrible.  At least for me!
