I meant to add....
You said your were doing Weight Watchers for your 6 month supervised diet. Please double check with your insurance company, and make sure that Weight Watchers will definitely count for insurance requirements. With most insurances, it does not. Personally, I think that's goofy, since WW is a good diet plan...but insurance companies have some really stringent requirements when it comes to getting approved for this surgery. Most want you to see you PCP every single month to follow your diet plan, or want you to go to the 6 month pre-op classes offered by your surgeon.
I wished Weight Watchers would have counted for me...I'm a WW 'vet', and had several long stints with them.
