My preop diet is pretty lax (egg whites, turkey deli meat, chicken, white fish, protein shakes) but being at work in the lunchroom with everyone is a little tough. I'm noticing everyone is eating everything I can't have. And as far as the wedding goes, it's just a small courthouse wedding with a few family members so stress is low.
I'm about 9 days from surgery and just found out that I needed to enroll in the bariatric resource program after nearly a year of seeing doctors. UHC initially told me it was mandatory which is why my case is still pending, but when the surgery center called they told them it was completely optional, so I enrolled anyway. Not sure exactly what's happening, but I wish I would have found out sooner
My surgery is November 4th, and 4 days after my wedding. My status with my insurance company is still pending, but the center I'm going to for my surgery said not to worry since they're out of network. (but I'm paying in network prices)
