Hello I am new to the VSG world. I am learning that preop prep is more than I expected. I found out my insurance requires 6 month preop diet. 6 months feels like a long time to wait at my age. Will the insurance approve me after the 6 months??? Will I change my BMI to fall under 40?? Lots to think about. Any help is appreciated. :blink:

I had to do 6 months also. I have Kaiser insurance. Once they accepted me into the program, it was a matter of doing everything they tell you, then you will get approved. My bmi was right over 40. They go by the initial bmi and I had to lose some weight prior.....good luck with your process
