Have you seen a psychologist? I had to be evaluated prior to approval. I passed, but he did mention how he counsels patients prior to surgery. Maybe something you should consider? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much for replying! I plan on putting off any changes until approval. My psych dr called yesterday and told me I was mentally healthy and he was sending me through, so I'm hoping it wont take much longer. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have not been approved by my insurance yet, but I have finished my nutritionist and psych appointments and the surgeon approved me for the sleeve. I was informed about the 2 week liver shrinking diet and I'm really nervous about it. Mainly because I am pushing the BMI requirements as it is. I have BCBS IL insurance. I'm afraid I will be below the BMI requirements on surgery day and wont be able to get it. Does anyone have insight for me? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app
