I am 6 months from my VGS surgery, and wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and wants a diet buddy?? I would really like to lose weight before surgery, but it can be hard to get on track without someone to be accountable to.

3 Months will fly by!! I just started my 6 months of supervised weight loss, THAT feels like it wll take forever. What is your pre op diet like?

Thank you everyone for your responses! Does anyone use myfitnesspal? my username is kbo_mt if you want to add me! I'm also willing to text or skype or start a support group if anyone is interested!

My 6 month supervised diet is required for insurance authorization. There is no diet requirement from my surgeon besides the 2-week pre-op diet.

Hello! I will be 23 this summer, I am currently doing 6 months of doctor supervision that is required by my insurance before I can have LB surgery. I would love to meet some people around my age to chat with/share ideas with!

Did anyone have certain guidelines to meet before getting approval for lap band surgery? I had my appointment with my surgeon and was ready to go, but my insurance requires 6 months of seeing a physician for review before approval -- So frustrating. I have gained 5lbs since my appointment a month ago. Feeling discouraged
