My insurance requires me to be refered by my doctor before I start anything and I won't be able to see her till the 25th so hopefully she gives me the ok. I know I'll be required to do the 6 month diet. But usually it is the doctor who tell you to lose a % of the your weight due to a fatty liver or to make it easier for your surgeon. From what I have read that is.

This thread is getting a little old but I just found it. I had my surgery with Dr Folek 4 days ago. I think I saw you at the support group meeting last week. How are things going? Where are you in the process?
