@@masonjk38 I have BCBS and they seem to be pretty loose on requirements. I didn't have to go through a lot of the pre-op things others around here do. I haven't had any weight loss requirement and my doctor said that I was approved on the weight I was the at the first appointment. He told me NOT to lose because I'm right on the borderline (35.9 BMI).

Oh ok. I have the federal BSBC and they required a three-month trial. The surgeon Nut said I couldn't gain any weight during that time which ended April 1; however, since then I have put on 10 lbs ugh. I honoring I will lose at least 10 lbs during the 7-day pre-op liquid phase.

Thanks

I was lucky. I have BCBS and no diet or weight requirements were needed beyond the 6 months of Nut and dr visit. I had several last meals....and was told to go ahead and do that!

@sparklingbeauty

Maybe mine doesn't either and that requirement is coming from the surgeon?

I worried a little! I ended up losing another 10lbs right before my surgery. So I pulled off a 60lb loss for my 4 month pre op diet! I did it!! It was very hard!! But I'm glad I did it! Hang in there!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
