Went in for my surgical consult and Nut. appt yesterday. I've met the requirement for insurance loss 11lbs. Nut is satified. Surgeon said I shouldn't lose anymore weight until the liquid diet. That I am expected to lose 15 to 20lbs and I will be under 200lbs.

Yea for me but, there are a few more lab test and a gallbladder ultrasound to do. A few years ago they found a polyp he plan to remove my gallbladder also. I think it is great to get all those things Pre-Authorized before surgery. No surprises. I just went in for those labs today, and my primary will give me a referral for the ultrasound.Lastly, the pre- auth will be sent. I am hoping for a December surgery before Christmas.

Ur going to be under 200 before surgery?

Yes, hopefully under 200lbs. I have other issues that allow me use the surgery as a permanent tool of weight loss. I need to stay under weight for health reasons.

Interesting.... best of luck to you on your journey!!!
