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.

Hello ladies, I start my 6 month diet on Monday. I was told I was only required to lose 20l bs. I was really happy to hear that news, but I will try to loss more than 20 lbs to lower my BMI before surgery.

What is the name of your insurance company? I have UHC and they also require a supervised diet. I don't know the duration yet.

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?
