My local hospital is saying six months for diet and classes. My insurance is saying three month prep? Just curious. Would love to have the surgery before the end of this year.

Some insurances only require three months, and the doctor almost always agrees to this. Lucky you!

Ah ok! Not there yet but fingers crossed. Thanks!!!

I did mine in three months ! Started April 26 and had surgery July 19!!

Wow. Awesome!

The 3 month thing is new, maybe 8 months ago. We are trying that for my husband due to his work being less then flexible. The pre op diet depends on your surgen. My friend did hers at the same time as me, she was on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks prior. I only had to do it for 1 day.

I start in July my surgery in August 18

@susie that's amazing how you only had to do a one day liquid diet I hope that's what will happen to me but fingers crossed I see my surgeon next week.

I didn't have a required Dr supervised diet. Thank God
