I have already been approved for surgery. My surgeon has me on a 3 week preop liquid diet consisting of 3 protein shakes a day with water in between. Im on day 8 and Ive already lost 15 pounds. At this rate if I keep losing like this I will go under my BMI... (I wasn't too far from it to begin with).... can insurance deny surgery if I go under the 35 BMI during preop diet?

Has anyone else had surgery and went home the same day. My surgeon said he was going to have me home the same day of surgery. I actually want to stay overnight so I can make sure everything is ok. I dont think Ive read anything on here about going home the same day of surgery.https://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1295-pre-operation-weight-loss-surgery-qa/?do=add#

Same thing that happened to me.... A day before my 6th appointment, they called me and told me they were turning in my paperwork because my insurance changed the 6 month policy lol... I got the call with approval a week later and was given a surgery date that day.

I would even be ok with popsicles and SF Jello... but my surgeon stated nothing but 3 protein shakes and water in between for me.

My surgery date is December 28th.... My surgeon had me start the preop diet on December 5th. He put me on a 3 protein shake diet a day..... water between each shake... no other food. It was tough the first 3 days... but Im on day 5... and cant believe Ive gone that long with no "food" . My preop will be a little over 3 weeks whereas everyone else Im seeing only has a 2 week.
