Total indulgence before starting pre-op?
perk4756 replied to sassygirl1068's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Be careful gaining weight, my nutritionist said you can only gain 2 lbs during the 6 months because of insurance requirements. I have no diet until 12 days before surgery. But have cut from tons if coca cola a day to one, and no water to 8 bottles a day now -
Anyone approved with a BMI under 40?

That's quick. My insurance required a 6 month nutritionist. Some are only 3 months. Mine will be in August -
In what stage do you usually get your surgery date? After all tests and procedures, exercise class and all? Or after 6th month visit?

Anyone with July dates? And or Minnesota folks here?
perk4756 replied to ohjul's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Having my endo Friday, and exercise demo week after. All my tests will be complete after endo. Do they normally send in insurance approval then or after your 6 mos appointment? -
My nutritionist said they go on your first weigh in. You can not gain during because insurance will turn down. My bmi is 36.5 but I have a few co morbities.

Anybody older doing this?
perk4756 replied to amoreno's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am only 48, but have had 5 back surgeries. That's how I gained this weight. But this time around I'm going to work out to strengthen my whole body. Where as before I just gave into this. Really excited. Already walking 3x around my block. Drinking lots of water where as before no exercises and no water. I am 219 lbs and 5'3". Always was 120 before and 3 inches taller before -
