For me, I met with the physician's assistant, who took a lot of information down, made sure I fully understood the procedure, discussed pre-op testing (and gave me a bunch of written materials). I was self-pay, so I ran all my pre-op testing through my primary care physician and was able to get my insurance to cover it all. If you are going in on insurance, they will set up your pre-op testing for you. Once all that is done, you will meet with the surgeon about 2 weeks before your surgery and he will put you on the pre-op diet. For me, it was 2 shakes per day using their protein shake powder ($30 for a BIG jar) and two lean meals per day (3 oz. lean protein and vegetables and occassionally whole grain carbs). Mix those shakes with skim milk! I tried with water and they were gross, but with skim milk were actually not bad at all.

Hi ladies! I am in Fayetteville. I just attended a seminar this weekend. I too would be using True Results. My coverage is not effective until 01/10...but if my carrier uploads my 2010 plan info, I can get started in December. Please let me know your thoughts and any "hiccups" and good things that you have experienced during the process. Thanks and good luck to you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
