Last month I had my 2nd out of 6 consult and I asked about the pre op diet and the surgeon said due to my weight (220lbs) he will only require me to do a 2 day liquid diet before surgery. Does that even sound right? I was expecting him to say 2 to 3 weeks.

Congratulations I just had my consultation last week and it went well. I am so excited for this journey!! Best of luck to you!!

Thank you ladies. I just got with my gyno, and she had 2014, and I had a physical done in 2013 for a nursing assistant course I was taking then. Got both those records and faxed them to my surgeon!! ????

Just met with my surgeon today all he needs from me is any doctor visit in the last 2 years that shows my weight. The problem is that I didn't have insurance therefore I didn't have any doctor visits ???? I don't know what to do...

Congrats! What a beautiful family!! So much inspiration here!!

Ohh ok I understand now. Thank you once again for all the great info! You are awesome!!!

@ thank you! ???????? I am excited!

2goldengirl, the receptionist at my doctor mentioned something about my IPA approval do I need to contact them too (preferred IPA of California)

@@2goldengirl thank you!

Hi all!!! After a couple of months my pcp finally sent an authorization request to see a bariatric surgeon!! I am so excited! But I am getting a bit nervous the request states that I have uncontrolled high blood pressure ( taking 3 meds for that) fatty liver, and last morbid obesity. I am 27 years old, i am 5'3 inches I weight 216 pounds. I am wondering if that is enough for my insurance to approve the request? I have a medi-cal (LA CARE)

Congrats

I am 28 just starting my journey too!

Thank you!

Just wondering if anyone got approved for wls through Medi-cal La Care? How long is the process? And what was your experience?
