Hi! Trying to start an updated group. Most posts here are pretty old. Anyone from

Baltimore area?

For those who used Dr A - I'm totally at the beginning of this process. What kind of diet did you have to do? 3 month or 6 month?

My understanding is that your diet requirements will be dictated by your insurance. My insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet; I'd completed that last year, so Dr. A didn't required me to do more.

That was my experience too. Dr. A didn't have a specific requirement (that I know of). My insurance required six months.

My insurance didn't require any weight loss before surgery. Dr. A. did advise that a few pounds be lost before surgery to help shrink the liver, for a better process during the surgery.

Hi I'm from Howard County and I was also banded at GBMC my doctor is Dr.Moeinolmolki I don't go to none of there meetings because I have classes at night but I do come here mostly to just read I harly ever post. Some people here are to harsh in my opinion. This is a learning progress for us all. But reading some things help me a lot. Best of luck to everyone.

Good luck on your new life journey, I am more than certain that you will obtain your goal.
