Some pain but so much better today than the last two days in the hospital. I really wasn’t prepared for how much pain I’d be in but it does get better each day.

How are you feeling?

Yep! 5:45am. Best of luck to you!

Same here...haven’t been nervous until today and now I can’t stop thinking about EVERYTHING ?

I'm December 10th! I have my pre-op day long appointment on the 15th so I'll find out about the liquid diet then, but most likely have to do two weeks starting the monday after Thanksgiving. We're in this together!

I've been thinking the same thing! I see so many posts from sleevers and not as many bypass so it makes me nervous, but I know we're going to do great!

I just confirmed my bypass for December 10th! I can’t believe this is real life, I’m so excited!

Thank you both. This is super helpful. I think I'm just going to meet with her two more times to be consistent. I sent her the form and am keeping the mentality that she doesn't have to approve of what I'm doing but just needs to sign off on the counseling part. Appreciate the help!

Hi all, I have been working with a dietician for 4 months and she is very against any sort of bariatric surgery. I know for the United Health Care and Optum programs, you have to have 6 months of a supervised diet prior to surgery and I am so afraid she is against this. Does anyone know if I would be able to see another dietician through the Bariatric Center of Excellence for my last two months? Would that still count? It would be consecutive months but just with another provider.
