I am in the process of getting through all of the logistics leading up to the scheduling of surgery. I am very excited and look forward to working hard to do my part torward getting and staying fit. How did you all manage staying calm while waiting for a surgery date? All I want to do is talk about it.

Lol, I am in my pre-op 6MSWL, and I know my boyfriend and mother are both sick of hearing about it already. And I even still have three months to go before I can get approval! I just come here and read through the postings and talk with other pre-sleevers, and I get to talk about it as much as I want. I mean, everyone here is on the same journey.

Wishes: How was it determined that you needed to do a doctors supervised diet prior to surgery?

I personally called my insurance to verify my benefits and was then referred to a bariatric coordinator who also confirmed the requirements for surgery who then referred me to my nurse case manager who also verified the information. At this point, I am 100% sure they REALLY want the 6MSWL. Also, Novus Center who I work with as a part of Dr. Webb's (my surgeon) practice has also confirmed the information for me.
