Hi there! I had my first appointment with the surgeon today. I have a 3 month supervised diet to go through where I have to lose 17 pounds. I will also have to do labs, EKG, a meeting with a nutritionist, and the psych eval. Seems pretty standard. Looking forward to this new stage in my life.

Thank you! We discussed bypass mostly. He said the sleeve was an option but from what I've read so far I prefer the bypass. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I hope that I don't get sensitive to spice...I have loved spicy things ever since my first pregnancy. I know everyone is different but I just made 30 pints of spicy salsa! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Looks good. I haven't even met with my surgeon yet but I that would be good for my physician supervised diet. Thanks for sharing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I am meeting with Dr Graber 9/14 for my initial consultation. Did any of you go through him? If so, I would love to hear your feedback. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

My PCP referred me 2 weeks ago, but I don't meet with the surgeon until Sept. 14. This is something I have been wanting to do for about a year now, but there were no approved surgeons on my last insurance plan. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Hi all, I got a referral from my PCP to see a surgeon this coming September. I have been reviewing my insurance and they want 6 months of a physician supervised diet within the past 2 years (which I don't have) plus 3 month pre-op diet. They say that I have to show at least a 5% loss during the 3 months but if I lose more than 10% they could extend the physician supervised diet and postpose or deny surgery. Has anyome lost too much on their pre-op diet and been denied?

How did that go? What kind of requirements did he have you go through?
