I hope to be sleeved in April as well.

First Appointment: 10/08/13

Lab work: 10/08/13

Nutritionist Appointment: 10/10/13 1 out of 6 done.

Well, I have to see the nutritionist for 6 months per my insurance, is that what you mean?Hi MaggieMae, Yes my insurance also requires me to see a nutritionist for 6 Months. I had my first visit this past Thursday. I'm hoping for a surgery date in April.

Hello ladies, I start my 6 month diet on Monday. I was told I was only required to lose 20l

Today is my FIRST day of my six month diet! Only good thing is I don't have to lose a required amount. Hoping for a late April/ early May date.

Yeah I don't have to lose a required amount either and that kinda scary. I read a lady's comment on another thread and she said that she failed big time doing the six month diet and her insurance made her do an addition month due to non compliance. I think I'm gonna call my insurance and ask them what exactly are they looking for doing the six months.

That's great news!

I can't wait neither!

Be able to start my new healthy life!!!!

I meet with my surgeon next week For my start of 3 month insurance requirements. Excited!

How about you??

I just started the process last week. I have my initial consultation with the surgeon next week. I'm excited and I can't wait to have this surgery.

Hello, Any Houston area pre op and post op sleevers?

My UHC plan requires the supervised diet prior to surgery. I wish there was away around that, but it's not. I really wanted to have the surgery done before the holidays.

I just received a call from the surgeon's office to inform me that I will need to be on a supervised diet. The rep told me when I go in for consultation the surgeon will let me know the duration. Anyone else have this same requirement?

True, this will definitely be a lifestyle change, so it's good for me to get mentally and physically prepared. Thank you for your reply.

I'm waiting on approval for the gastric sleeve. I just started the process last Wednesday. I heard about the 6 month supervised diet period. Is there any way around this process?
