Hi All,

Just starting the process. Called the surgery center for info today. They told me about the hoops for BC/BS of Illinois. I guess that is good so I don't jump in too fast but I hate waiting for so long;-(.

couple of questions:

1. Did any of you lose weight during the 6 months? I am at about 37.8 bmi which is borderline so this sounds weird but I am worried about losing 20lbs like I always do when I diet and not qualify.

2. Does the diet have to be a controlled program like WW or can you just say you are doing South Beach or the billion other ones that we probably all tried?

Thanks for your help!
