So my insurance does not require and supervised diet or weight loss, but my surgeon wants me to loose 30lbs. Any suggestions on dropping that amount of weight fast? I am so ready... I have been wanting and researching WLS for a long time. I had already lost 28 lbs before officially talking to my PCP and asking for help and WLS. I've changed habits, quit soda, and am exercising. I'm so tired of my 5 year olds friends asking if I've got a baby in my big tummy. Help!

As far as I have read no but each Surgeon is different

how is kaiser?? I go to the info session next week. Im also so cal kaiser.. Out of moreno valley but the meetings are in corona..

they give you everything you need to know and the classes are helpful so long as you really pay attention. its tedious but it works, just don't gain ANY weight while you are taking the class's that's the only real advice i can give you on that and make sure you get EVERYTHING done the way they tell you to and keep your binder in order so you are on top of everything. I have supposedly 18 lbs to go before i am given the green light by the surgeon but hes not really giving me any indication that he "feels" like i can have a surgery date, even though i am losing like 3lbs a week roughly and proving my dedication. it means nothing and people who are at an unhealthier level are getting to get their surgeries. its frustrating so DONT gain any weight in the classes lol.
