I have BCBS and I had to do the required 6 month nutrition appointments. I started Dec 2015 and didn't have my surgery until August 2016. Don't be discouraged it taught me a lot before having surgery! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using the BariatricPal App

I had my RNY on August 30, 2016 and I've lost 37 lbs since surgery and I was in a stall for 5 weeks. I adjusted my diet by drinking Protein shakes for a Meal Replacement, exercising and getting all my fluids. I really restrict myself on carbs and now my weight loss has started again!

I'm 4 weeks pre op RNY and currently on soft foods. No Pasta, bread, grains. I've tried a small bite size if steak this week and tolerated it well. It just depends on what your surgeon suggests for you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using the BariatricPal App

It will be 4 weeks for me on Tues and I'm eating pureed and soft foods and I can eat up to a 1/2 cup of food three times a day and all of it is Protein. I've lost 26 lbs, I notice if I do too much I feel nauseated! I can't imagine eating a whole sandwich right now. Are you not drinking Water before and after your meals? My surgeon said to not drink anything 30 min after your meal because it will flush it away and cause over eating. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using the BariatricPal App

You do have to have a medical condition to get approved. I have sleep apnea, arthritis and my bmi was over 50. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using the BariatricPal App

I have the same insurance and I had to do the 6 months diet. I lost 27 lbs before my surgery and was approved. I had my surgery Aug 30. Did they not approve you due to not losing enough weight or was it something else? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using the BariatricPal App
