Thanks lady's! I was just wondering and didn't think of the question while at my last appointment. I got a migraine my first day with no caffeine, I have been having 2oz in the morning just to cut the headaches.

Just a quick question about the pre-op diet why is caffeine not allowed? I am doing a one week per-op diet be for surgery. Dose anybody know why we are not allowed caffeine?

That's a great idea! I just sent a request to join!

July 19 and per-op diet starts July 12!! Can hardly wait[emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

My surgeons office made me take off my shoes and socks and pull my pants up to check for ankle weights! I ate a huge lunch and drank a lot of water! I had to gain 10lbs! Any other time I can gain no problem this time I cut it closes! My BMI was 39.99 thank god they rounded it up to 40! I received my approval last week and scheduled for surgery on the 19th. [emoji106]????

I check in with my Doctor once a month, my doc is awesome I enjoyed every visit. And the 6 months really dose fly by. I was approved last Thursday. Spoke with my preop Cordinator today and I'm looking at having surgery towards the end of the month![emoji2]good luck to you!

Hope all went well!!

So was I! I was sure they would find some reason to say no. Even tho I met all the requirement. My BMI was 40 with no comorbiditys. At all of my weigh in's with my dr. I lost. However when I met my surgeon I had gained a pound from my last weigh in with my Doctor! I was sure that was the nail in my coffin! But luck was on my side and I was approve last Thursday. I'm waiting in the surgeons Cordinator to get back with me now! She taking forever and never calls me back...[emoji52]

Good luck! [emoji1317]

I started with a BMI of 40 I'm 5'9. Now it's 35.

I think it was just my way of protecting myself so if I did get denied I wouldn't be so upset

I bet the waiting is the hardest part.

Thanks! Good luck to you as well!
