Hi everyone,

I haven't created my page.

I just finished my last test this past Fri. Wednesday I was told that my medical records was sent to my insurance. Today (Thur) I was advised that my insurance was approved & my surgery date is August 5th.. Super excited w/mixed emotions.

Hello to all, Im scheduled for August 3, here in NYC.

Struggling a bit with my second pre-op diet week, any advice?

I just started today or I would love to help. What exactly are you struggling with?

I am struggling a bit with the second week diet plan (two-shakes, one meal). There are days where I'm eating more than others, as in drinking a shake and eating shortly thereafter -- then later having a regular meal (the "one" meal) for the day. Any advice or suggestions?

August 12th here. Start my pre op diet August 5th

I'm curious did everyone have to do the 6 month nutrition program ? Prior to surgery ? I am currently starting the long process and August 5 I meet my surgeon

My surgery date is August 5th as well! I am super excited. Now if I can get through the 2 week liquid diet pre-op I will be fine.

I'm August 5th too

I did not have the 6 month requirement, this is mostly for insurance purposes, as it is required for some insurance plans.

Yeah 6 months and some

August 26

Wow yeah my insurance requires the 6 month since i didn't go to weight watchers or a nutritionist

Yeah insurance is what usually requires the 6 month program. As I am self-pay I was not required to complete a 6 month program.

Ok thanks for your help

My insurance required 3 months of a doctor led program with also seeing a fitness specialist and psychologist. It felt like six months! lol! But it was worth it...it gave me time to adjust to my decision and lose a little weight before surgery. And my insurance approved me without any problems.
