I lost 10 lbs during my 2 week pre-op / liver shrinking diet.

And yes, everyone is different!

I lost 50lbs, but I have been pre-op since late Feb and started my pre-op diet early March. Kaiser did not make us do a liquid diet.

Not required to do a diet prior to surgery. However, I did lose 10 pounds right before my surgery.

I was on a 1 week pre-op diet, lost 10lbs. I was supposed to drink only low carb Protein Shakes, but I broke down and allowed myself some solid Protein, but no carbs.

I finally got tired of waiting and called the insurance company myself and they said it was approved. So I called the wls office and gave them the info they needed. Somehow the insurance company didn't send the right papers over

Email from my clinic and the same day I received notice of approval from my insurance in the mail. Took 16 days to get approval. GL!!
