Hello everyone I am new also. I saw my surgeon today. My husband's insurance will pay for it, but I have to have 24 months of medical mointored weight loss attempts. I don't understand why I need 24 months when everyone else need 6mos to 12 mos. Could anyone tell me how to start a posting and how to add the cute little tracker to the bottom? Will I have to add the tracker every time I post? Oh and I don't know if I said this or not, but congradulations on taking your first step and I hope all goes well. :)
