Band Removal Approved; BYPASS DENIED!

That's so awesome, hope I'm that lucky too, don't just want the band removed without the bypass at the same time

I'm struggling and am so frustrated today, my primary insurance has denied my RNY for one reason, I did not lose the 5 percent weight but the doctor told me to not lose, maintain my weight because of BMI, my insurance said if I can lose 13 pounds by Thursday they will approve it, my band removal and RNY is scheduled for February 9th. The doctor said 5 Protein Drinks a day and 96 oz of Water, no food come back Thursday and they will do an immediate request for approval again, I'm scared that I can't lose 13 pounds in 6 days, if I don't: no surgery! Does anyone have any other suggestions for the 13 pounds to come off in 6 days. I started this morning on Atkins blue label only drinks for the next 6 days. Any ideas would be welcome.

Can your surgery be rescheduled for a later date.Giving you more time.

Actually i am changing jobs after being with my company for 18 years so I only have 3 weeks before I start a new job with another company. I wanted to have it done and on my way to a new beginning.

Drink 3 shakes a day 90g protien and stay under 500 cal a day. Walk at least a mile a day.....last time I did that I dropped 10 pounds in 7 days.

Also drink lots of detox tea. Please note you need at lest 2 weeks to heal post op.
