I don't have an exact date yet, but surgery is about three or so weeks away. My doctor had me start the pre op diet Monday. Six days in and I've lost 13 pounds!! My pre op diet is two Protein shakes a day, and one SMALL meal of 4 ounces of a lean meat and two cups of non-starchy veggies. And of course lots of water!!!!

I'm in San Antonio and will be having my surgery done within a month. Who was your surgeon? I'm so sorry you're having so many problems!! I hope this may change soon for you! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I have Anthem BCBS, in TX, and it's the same requirements- 6 months supervised diet, psych eval, etc. There are hoops, but we will get there! After I got through the hoops, it's the same price as everything else per my plan- deductible then 80/20 to my out of pocket maximum. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I just started my 6 months of nutritionist appointments so I can get my surgery- yay!!! Before my therapist will approve me, though, she wants me to get as much information about what goes on with your body AFTER the surgery. So here I am, asking all of you! What kinds of thingd do you struggle with now that you've had your surgery? How do you feel about your body? Do you need to have surgery to remove excess skin? Do you have other body image issues? What about hair loss- if you experienced that, how long did it take for it to start growing again? Thanks for your help!! :-) Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App
