Days 1 and 2 were the hardest for me. I am currently on day 5 all Clear Liquids. Day 2 I had nausea and headache bad. Feeling much better now. Good luck to all. My surgery is Wednesday! Lisa ????

I know how you feel. I had to do 6 months of dietitian visits and was sure I would be disqualified because I didn't lose any weight during that time. I got the call last Friday that I was approved. I was in the middle of Kohl's and just stood there. I was in shock. Then she wanted to schedule it as soon as next week, and that shocked me even more. Getting used to it now. On day 3 of 7 of a clear liquid diet. Surgery is May 18.

Hello! I am on day 2 of a 7 day clear liquid diet. Soooo hungry! Headaches and nausea. Can't look at facebook because of all the pictures of food on there. I want carbs!!! My surgery date is May 18, also!

Dr. Snow! ♡♡Tamara♡♡ I am seeing Dr. Snow, also!!! Surgery is next Wednesday. Started Clear liquids today, had my pre-op stuff today. Did you already have surgery? or are you waiting?

I hear ya! Mine is May 18, didn't schedule it until two days ago. I didn't have any special diet until today. Today I started clear liquids. Basically a starvation diet. Nothing but sugar free drinks, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, and broth. Max 5-10 calories per item. Went in for preop bloodwork today and to meet with nurse and anesthesiologist. Also had my pic taken in Dr's office. Seems to be happening so fast!

Had to undergo 6 months of dietician visits, then await approval from insurance. I was sure they were going to deny me because I hadn't lost weight while seeing the dietician....basically stayed the same. I got the call on Friday that it had been approved, and scheduled surgery for May 18. It seems to be happening so fast now. I started clear liquids today, and go in for preop testing today. Yikes!

Dr Snow & Dr Van Wagner no longer share a practice as of Feb 1st. I will call Dr Van Wagner's office though and see if their nutritionist takes outside patients. Thanks so much!!! Hello! I am new here and am seeing Dr. Snow, also (though I live in the Festus area). Have my 5th out of 6 dietitian appointments on monday before I can be officially approved for the sleeve. I have been seeing the dietitian in Dr. Wagner's office and before the first of the year, visits were free. After the split, I pay $20 copay, but can still see her.

I have UHC in MO and looked online at my plan about a year ago and it said it was not covered. However, I checked with a surgeon 6 months or so ago and they submitted it and it is covered. I have to do 6 months of a dietitian supervised diet (on month 5 now) then I should be good to go. It's worth looking into. Good luck!
