Thanks, all, for chiming in! I went for my the last weigh-in of my 6 month diet yesterday. The doctor said that, with insurance, you never can tell but that it won't surprise him if they come back and say I have to lose some amount of weight before they approve me. He speculated 5% but has no real idea.
I'm going to try to get started on that 5% in case they come back and say that but, in general, I'm going to try to put it out of my mind. I'm told that it could take 30-45 days before I hear anything - even though I know it could be much sooner than that - so I'm going to try to relax, already!
You all will be the first to know if/when I get approval!
