Once I made the decision to have surgery (I didn't know which one at the time)' date=' I did nothing but research. I researched and read and asked and talked about it. I decided to be sleeved when I talked to the surgeon.

Since then I have done nothing but research, ask and read. Now that I start my liquid diet tomorrow, I'm comfortable with the knowledge I have.

No question is stupid if you don't know the answer. Ask.

Good luck![/quote']

Thank you! I have been doing the same thing... LOL. I have a portfolio dedicated to my surgery with notes and questions and print outs. I have a really nice surgeon. He was so easy to talk to. I talked to my UHC bariatric nurse today, she was also nice and very helpful. Things are looking good. Just hope the time flies,! Good luck to you as well! Let me know how it goes...

So today was the first of my 6 consecutive months of Physician supervised weight loss visits. I have a long way to go, but, I am determined and plan to use this time to prepare myself for the drastic life style change to come....... (once approved of course) #wishmeluck

Awesome! So happy for u!

O.k. so I went for my first visit. I met with Dr. Brent W. Allain Jr. with The surgeons Group of Baton Rouge yesterday. He is really nice and so was his staff. He made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. I am waiting to hear from my coordinator, Josette today, to see what she finds out from UHC, as far as pre op requirements and stuff. I'm so excited and nervous. I am a very impatient person... LOL... Wish me Luck!

Thank you so much for all the info.. I will know more after tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Thanks again..

Thanks mufasas-mom! Did you have any pre op requirements?

@ HotRod67..... How did you get approved and scheduled for your surgery so fast? UHC did not require any type of pre op diet or anythig? I have my initial visit with my surgeon tomorrow, I have UHC PPO. Thanks and I'm so happy for you.
