Was your previous diet w/Nut within the last two years? If so it should count.

My 6 months has flown by. Two weeks I'll have insurance approval and then a surgery date! Yay!

I just got a call from my surgeon's office, NWWLS, saying that I have been approved they wanted to do my surgery October 12th however since of work restrictions I opted to have its December 21st.
I'm so excited.... I have to do my sleep study, psych evaluation and endoscopy still...but im super happy this is becoming a reality!!

Mine asked about my childhood, if depressed or if had family history of it. Asked for me to explain Surgury to him to show my knowledge and understanding of what I'll be able to eat afterwards.

As a vet, I had a LOT of questions pre-op and looking back I posted some really long questions. Now that I'm over 2 years post op, I find that there is one reference I still find myself going to.
On YouTube there is an awesome show from the UK called Fat Doctor. This is REAL stuff. Shows a lot of the surgeries, lifestyle changes, etc. There used to be many more episodes but some were taken off the site. However, there are still a lot of great episodes. There are a few sleeve cases but mostly bypass. However, the struggles and the lifestyle changes are the same.
I've gained some weight in the past months and working to get it back off. Of course, I naturally went back to Fat Doctor and watch it daily for inspiration! Good luck to all the newbies here.

I don't even have a Surgury date yet, so I'm willing to switch places

Mine was last week. 8 days out now. I had the same worries so it's normal. I was so scared to the last second before i was put to sleep. But it is all worth it. I'm 11 lbs lighter after 8 days.

You will be just fine....think positive. I wish it was me, I have to wait until the Sept.22nd, I'm ready now. Just make sure you follow you surgeon's guidelines and everything will work out in your favor. Remember to sip sip sip and walk walk walk after surgery. I'm cheering for you![emoji122] [emoji126] [emoji322]

Too many emotions right now. Of course don't want any complications, so worried about the unknown afterwards. I know it will all be worth it come 6 months from now.

I have Aetna Medicare & it required 6 month dr/nutritionist visits

Got my eval scheduled for August. Should have all accept 6 month supervised diet/nutritionist visits done by then, November/December Surgury date hopefully

Good luck. Prayers for you and your surgeon..
