So, on Monday morning I met with the Behaviorist and the Surgeon. Both meetings went extremely well!! The Behaviorist feels I am a good candidate, no forseeable issues psychologically and the surgeon appreciates that I have been researching and learning a lot all on my own regarding VSG! He went to tell me about a website and I had to admit "Ohh, I already have been visiting OH for the past few years in my Quest to learn." LOL!

My insurance required 14 wk medically supervised "diet" will end the last week in November ... the surgeon says he will do whatever he can to fit me into his schedule THIS calendar year ... provided the insurance company doesn't take it's allotted 4 weeks to give approval.

So ... still reading, lurking, learning, praying about VSG!

Be blessed!!

I am close to the same schedule as you. I have to be on the supervised diet for 6 months, looking at a surgery date in January. How is your diet going? I am struggling. I lost in the beginning but now I am afraid i have gained some back. It is tough, only 1300 calories.

I am struggling a lot, lol! Tomorrow I start week 6 and as of yet, I haven't lost anything. *sigh* I have 8-9 weeks left to prove my sincerity! Let's encourage one another!

Hey Ladies....I am new too...I have a three month diet but I am going to wait to February.I always rush into things,I want to be really ready..Can you be?

how is it going? I had a weekend away and did not follow my food plan but plan to start to again tomorrow! I need to get going with at least half an hour of exercise everyday. How are you doing?
