My pre-op diet has to be three high protein meals no carbs. I can do two protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, and then a lean piece of meat and veggies for dinner. I am suppose to do this for two weeks, but I just got my date today and surgery is in 10 days!

Wow! Things are getting real. I got my approval on yesterday 6/2, and I'm scheduled for surgery on 6/13! Yay! The following has been my journey. About 7 months from beginning to end. 11/17/2015 - Informational Seminar 11/24/2015 - Initial Appointment with Surgeon 11/30/15 - First Supervised Diet Visit with PCP 5/31/2016 - Last Supervised Diet Visit with PCP 6/2/2016 - Insurance Approval 6/13/2016 - Surgery Date

Not yet. I actually just read the email earlier this morning. It went to SPAM. In my approval email the nurse asked me when I wanted it done. I said as soon as possible. I will call the office when it opens in a few minutes. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I have to do 6 months which is 7 visits and I have to have at least 180 days between visit 1 and 7.

I just had my 7 hour nutrition class my surgeon requires. What brand of Vitamins did you use immediately after surgery and what are you using now? Please be specific. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Wow!

@@Mikey I'm not sure if you were talking to me, but my surgery is not scheduled. I've only had 2 of my 7 monthly appointments. I approximate June or July.

I'm in Decatur, AL. I'm using Dr. Mailapur at Huntsville Hospital.

I'm just starting my journey. I had my first of 7 monthly appointments on November 30. I had the breath test this past Wednesday and I'm going to my first support group on this coming Wednesday.
