Sorry didn't finish my above post. My insurance requires 6 months of dr. supervised diet. Weight watchers doesn't count. Ugh. I have a whole year of documentation from them. I also stayed at each meeting. More time with them then a doctor visit. Oh well jump through the proper hoops! Good luck to you!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

You are lucky. My insurance won't recognize the 1 year that i went to WW because it has to be 6 months followed by a dr. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I am currently being worked up for the sleeve surgery. It will probably be around August before I will have surgery. I currently have long fairly fine hair. I am terrified of hair loss. I let my surgeon know this and his office sent me a protocol of a list of about 7 different Vitamins to start on now. My question is did any of you take them several months prior to surgery and did it help? Also any Boise sleevers having surgery this July or August? Thanks for any help with this.

Had my first consult with Dr. Valentine yesterday. I have a few hoops to jump through for insurance approval. Hopefully I will be able to have surgery in about four months. Wish it was today. Nervous and excited. Anyone else out there in the same situation?
