My dr put me on the 2 week pre-op mostly liquid diet, and asked that I try to lose 10 lbs before surgery. Well after 3 days I've lost about 7.5 lbs. I'm fairly close to the 40 BMI cutoff (I only had 15 lbs before going under 40) and am afraid that if I go under the 40 BMI that insurance won't cover the procedure. Has anyone run into this? I have BCBS of MA if that matters.
I'm scheduled to be banded on Feb 22nd in Boston. I start my 2 week diet tomorrow :/ I've been so up and down - excited/nervous - I just want to fast forward to the 23rd and be banded all ready! Good luck everyone
