My insurance did not req me do to monthly weigh ins. I've done my appts with my dietician and two out of three appts with the psych. I've done my blood work and had my sleep study. I've had my appt with my regular doc and changed my meds around that needed to be. All I'm waiting on is my third psych appt and results from my sleep study and everything will be submitted to insurance. How long of a wait is it after its submitted to insurance to find out if your approved? How long after your approved do you get your surgery date?

That's what I'm not sure of either. Hopefully we can have as much broth as we want pre op. I also want to start my Protein shakes as my main meals everyday. Just trying to figure out which one I'd like best and which one has the best nut value and bang for your buck too! Gotta stock up on all of it this week and plan on starting Sunday or Monday. Not quite sure if I'm doing this too early though. Don't even have my approval or date yet. Should I wait to start my liquid diet or go for it??

I am from MN. new to this site so let me know if you want to connect. This site seems awesome.

I am in MN. I live about 40 minutes north of the Twin Cities. I am new to this site and looking for support. I am pre op and waiting for my approval and date still. I am scheduled for my third psych visit for next Thursday then everything should be submitted to insurance. I am so nervous and ready to actually start all of this. Let's hear who else is from MN. Maybe we can get a group together or something.

I can totally relate!! Scared doesn't even describe how it feels when you don't know what you should do for this. My friend that's post op has suggested I do a two wk liquid diet that shrinks the liver and will get those lbs off. I can let you know what it is tomorrow as she's emailing it to me tonight. Maybe you won't need to do it for two weeks though as you only have five lbs to lose. Let me know if you're interested.

I know what you mean!! It's so scary. I don't want to lose too much but I need to lose what's req. and how do I do it?!? Well my friend that's post op did a two wk liquid diet to get to her surgery weight. Maybe you could try a liquid diet but for like one week instead of two since you only need to lose five lbs. I can let you know exactly what it entails tomorrow as she will be emailing it to me tonight. It's the diet they give you for post op but a lot of people do it to cleanse their liver and shrink it for surgery. I have my psych appt Sept. 13th and can't absolutly wait for my approval. Let me know if you want to try the liquid diet though.

Thanks so much for the replies!! I'm glad to be here and doing lots of research and looking for asuch info as I can possibly get. Thanks for the support. I will do the best I can.

I dream constantly of being at waterparks. I cannot wait to put a swimsuit on again and play at a waterpark with my kids!!
