Just a cardiologist and I had to have an ultrasound of my legs to check for DVT. And the regular Nutritionist and Psych eval. When I started I have myself the goal to have everything done by the time I had my last nutritionist appt. which is the 4th. My psych eval is the last piece abs that is scheduled for the 2nd.

that is great!!! i'm so happy for you. i also have to see a pulmonologist. I am in the beginning stages of it, that is why i am so curious about the all the stages that people ahead of me are having to do.

My date is not set yet. I had to do the three month supervised diet too. It's over Dec 4. Then they will send in my info. I will probably start the 4 week liquid diet on the 8th. It isnup posed to take my insurance company 2 weeks max to approve. I started the process September 8th.

yah, my shake/liquid diet is for two weeks. he explained all of that. but sh*t girl since you have been at it since september that means your surgery date is coming soon girl! what all specialitsts did you have to see during the process? hang in there!

I've reading and seeing that some people didn't have more than 1-2 weeks and some 1-3 days pre-op diet. Why in the WORLD is my doc saying 4 weeks???????????

@@laurenella82 , my insurance is making me have a 3month dr supervised diet like most people have and then 2 wks before he is going to put me on a shake diet until the surgery. The purpose is to shrink your liver down to about the size of a raisin so it is easier to operate.

How long did it take you to complete the whole thing from start to surgery date??? -lauren taylor (LT140)
