I am almost 3 months into my 6 month pre-diet. The month of December was not easy! My surgeons office is going to try to submit after 3 months but I am not getting my hopes up - so I am figuring surgery in June. Anyone else out there?

Yep. I'm in the last month of the 3 month waiting period for my insurance. No date yet. Hoping for early March.

What hospital are you goin through?

Me,me,me! Surgery scheduled for March 20th @ UH. I had no diet requirements pre-op other than the 2 weeks prior to surgery, and was submitted on Monday and approved Tuesday. What hospital and surgeon are you using? Good luck with early approval!

You are so lucky!!! I am going to Dr Ben Meir at Lake West. I love the staff I am working with!

I hear he is great! I'm glad you love the staff, it's really important. I'm using Dr. Leena Khaitan and I love her and the team as well.

I am almost at 3 months of diet. It is hard. I lost 4 lbs the first month then gained it back over the holidays!! How about you?

I am trying to focus on learning and internalizing the 4 rules that we are supposed to follow indefinitely post sleeve. I was bummed to learn that there is no Soup whatsoever including chili unless liquid is strained out. Wah. BUT I feel committed and if that's the rule then that is what I will do!

I know - I need to get focused on no drinking with meals... And no diet Pepsi!!!! It is going to be hard. Have you been to any of the pre op meetings? They are pretty informative - even though I am not really a "group" person!

Not yet. It's kind of a long haul for me to get up to that area. I would like to go at some point though.
