My insurance might require me a 1 year diet!

So I have got all my pre op appointments done down to the last dietician followup and I just found out that my Medicaid requires a 1 year medically supervised diet! How horrible is thatttt!! My BCBS doesn't require a diet at all but if I want medicaid to cover what BCBS doesn't then I have to complete the 1 year diet. I was so excited to get my surgery done in the summer and start a new life too =(

    That is pretty ridiculous, but try to see it as a time to mentally and emotionally prepare for your new life.

    You can start establishing those really great habits that will carry you through the post-op. Evaluate all the ups and downs you'll go through. I promise it'll all be worth it.
