I have my surgery with them on July 2nd. I have BCBS and the initial request was denied. Once they submitted the info requested in the denial letter it was approved. total time was a little over a month. lifeweigh is very supportive and does everything possible to fight for your surgery to be approved.

It depends on how long it takes you to get labs, EKG, blood work, etc., done. They also put you on a food plan and monitor your progress. It took me 5 months because I postponed my first surgery date but a friend that I recommended had her surgery after 3 months. It really depends on you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
