sasp35 17 Posted August 23, 2012 I love Dr. Averbach and his staff. I'm also available for support if needed. Good luck to everyone Stephanie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy O 7 Posted August 23, 2012 For those who used Dr A - I'm totally at the beginning of this process. What kind of diet did you have to do? 3 month or 6 month? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlm1120 11 Posted August 23, 2012 My understanding is that your diet requirements will be dictated by your insurance. My insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet; I'd completed that last year, so Dr. A didn't required me to do more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sasp35 17 Posted August 23, 2012 That was my experience too. Dr. A didn't have a specific requirement (that I know of). My insurance required six months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renee2817 76 Posted August 23, 2012 My insurance didn't require any weight loss before surgery. Dr. A. did advise that a few pounds be lost before surgery to help shrink the liver, for a better process during the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
