6 months doc diet.....start!
inmatchesout replied to inmatchesout's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sure the 100 lbs is after wls. I was told I need to lose 10% of the total I need to lose before surgery. I need to lose 90-100 lbs so 9-10 lbs. That won't be a problem during my 2 week liquid diet..... -

I was told I need to be on a liquid for 2 weeks before....gosh, that sounds hard!!!! And I should lose 10% of the total I need to lose. I need to lose 90-100 so 9-10 lbs before surgery. Since I have 6 months that shouldn't be a prob :0) -

There's 2 main weight loss surgeons in town and both offer a doctor supervised diet. My PCP would also do it. My insurance wants someone supervising my weight & eating, etc for six months. I've heard insurance will accept weight watchers, jenny Craig, etc. Hope that helps :0) -
After months of research and finally mustering up the courage to see the doc my insurance tells me I MUST do a 6 month prescribed diet. Really????? Umm, hey insurance company, if you'd look at my health history for the last 15-20 years you'd see, I'm still fat. Anywho, today was my first meeting. 6 months should fly by and I look forward to "learning" how to live after surgery. Today the nutrionist talked about cravings. Boy oh boy do I know about these..... It was refreshing to hear suggestions for ignoring or changing those cravings. Here's my pre req requirements for those presleevers: Rmr test H-pylori test Psych eval Nutrional eval (my 6 month of classes should cover it) Support group meeting Bariatric nut class Letter of support from PCP Steps to success class I'll start most of those reqs about December, 1/2 way through my 6 month diet. My stats today. 5'4", 235-240lbs :0( Good luck everyone. Lynne

Hi ladies. I just had my 1st consult this week AND I have to do a 6 mo doctors supervised diet.....ugh!!! If my insurance had been following me for the last 15 yrs they'd know this wasn't necessary. I'm also 5'4" and about 235 lbs. I'd love to know what your preop reqs are? I'll post mine later :0) -

So, I finally got the courage to fill out the paperwork to make my first initial appointment only to find out my insurance requires 6 months of a doctors diet. Ugh!!!!! I've been off and on phentermine for over 3 years with no real weight loss. Did anyone else have to do the 6 month diet?
