So who chose the 3 month diet versus 6? You the patient or the surgeon? So I started my 6 month with my PCP but my BMI is 42.6 with no cormorbids. I am 5'7 so i really have to maintain and not lose to much. I am afraid when I start in January with the surgeons office I will be heavier than when I started with pcp.

My insurance coverage was for 3 months. My PCP had given me a referral for weight loss surgery.

I worked directly with my surgeon and his office (all I had to get from my PCP was my 2 year Weight hx...which showed I'd been obese for years). I did my 3 NUT visits (with a 4th cause I gained weight...don't gain weight, as well as all the other testing required in that 3 month period.

My BMI was 45,

I had high blood pressure and was pre diabetic.

But if you have a BMI over 40 you don't need to have a comorbid condition. You qualify....

Find a bariatric specfic surgeon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
