Hi guys!! What is the point of the 3 or 6 month pre op diet? Is it for weight loss or just to maintain? What is insurance accually looking for, and could I be denied if I loose weight?

Thanks guys!! I am hoping the Italian in me will keep my hair where is has always been. I wpuldnt mind sparing some from my arms and legs though haha

I read this post and couldnt help but sympathise with you. I had a similar experience this past Sunday. My boyfriend and I went to yankee stadium to go see a professional soccer game; I was totally excited but we parked the car about a mile from the stadium and to top it off we had nose bleed seats and we walked up ramp after ramp after ramp to get up there! I was so out of breath and felt so out of shape, it got me so depressed! Believe me it is definitly difficult but we are all in the same boat and we all want to better ourselves! Keep your head up and I promise ill do the same

Hey guys, so I made my appt for July 31st!!!!! Super excited! I get to meet the nurse, nutritionist Despina, and Dr. Fielding! I have Aetna so I think I will have to do a monitored 3 month diet for insurance unfortunitly How do you guys like the band so far? How much have you all lost since the procedure? What do all of your scars look like? Is anyone puking up food, eekkk?! What was the frist appt like for everyone? I know I am full of questions but the more info the better.... How much pain was everyone in after? Thanks guys for all of your help!
