This is an insurance requirement for many companies. From what I can tell, they just want you to be on a doctor supervised diet. It does not seem to matter whether you gain a or lose. On the pre-op diet be loyal to the instructions since that is aimed at shrinking your liver so it won't be in the way for surgery.

Hope this helps.

While not required I supplied a check in log from my gym for the last year. But I also went everyday (only day they are closed is Christmas).

I have finished the weight loss program but the office is not sure what they are suppose to be giving me.....they gave me Progress Tracking Sheet which consist of my attendance, weight, BMI, & waist. Then I was given a written note saying that I was a candidate for bariactric surgery.....is there something else I need before submitting this

that is what I needed, I think it was called a letter of medical necessity... you can ask your surgeons office to fax a sample one to your Dr.'s office, that is what Mine did... you'll also need to do a Psych Evaluation before you get your surgery date if you haven't done so already. You answer soooo many questions... they just want to see where you are at mentally and I don't believe there is any right or wrong answer.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
