Had my education session 3 weeks ago.... Endo next week... Then all I have to do is have dietician appt and psych appt. Got my dietician appt in mail today... November 16th! Omg, I totally thought I'd be done by then and recovering.... Just need a pep talk!

Yeah I know the reasoning... Just trying to figure out how long this may take. I am attending my first function this week- the mandatory education session that the MD requires prior to scheduling an appointment. I'm such a planner!

Does the insurance require the preop diet or does the physician? I have the insurance policy on weight loss surgery and it just talks about BMI requirements etc. I have BCBS NC...

Yes the doctors office requires you to attend this prior to making an appointment with the surgeon. I was just curious of what happens next and how soon etc. How are you feeling?
