Well, I fulfilled all of the requirements and now have to wait for the insurance company to approve the surgery. THEN, I can get assigned a date and start in on the pre-op physical stuff. It will be about two weeks before we hear from the insurance company so that gives me time to get started on my 10% weightloss that my doctor is requesting (requiring?) before surgery. I think it's a recommendation but I want to talk to them more in detail about this. I also think I have decided to try the OPTIFAST diet that they recommended at the last meeting I went to at the doctor's office. I will be on liquids for six weeks anyways - might as well get used to it right? I have about 35 lbs to lose before surgery . .. the thought scares me a little but I am determined to get this started and failure is not an option at this point.

I am having my surgery on Monday. Good luck to you on your weight loss. I had a very slow start on Weight Watchers and then switched to Atkins. I had lost 24 on Atkins and have lost another 4 doing my preop five day thing. This is my 4th day on the shakes and diet jello.
