Next step going back to the nutritionist next week after a month of pre op dieting. I've lost all of 2 lbs . I'm lost bc it's discouraging with only losing such little weight. Anyone know what the steps are after meeting with the biaritrac nurse? Wondering what my time line is to get this ish done! Also they haven't even started the process with my insurance though I don't think I will have a prob I only need to obtain a PA and already saw my Pcp and received referrals

Your looking at it in the wrong way.. two pounds gone is still two pounds gone.. it's a win.. you have to start taking the small wins and relize that they are still wins in the end.. as for the timeline.. I'm not sure.. I'm still pre-op myself.. guess I just wanted to chime in and say congrats on the two pounds!!

Thank you! I know about the two pounds I just feel like I read everyone else's post about losing 20 lbs with their pre op diet .. I just wish I could get the ball rolling have you had your EKG: labs: upper GI and ultrasound yet?

Sometimes its easier to lose when your BMI is higher. I have lost 6lbs and I am on day 4 of my two week pre-op diet. I started in May and got appoved in July. I only had to have 3 visits with my NUT and 2 surgeon consults. All tests and labs done in between. Scheduled for July 29th. They prob won't submit till you are close to your last NUT visit. At least mines didn't.

I have had my phyc eval, and my upper GI. The last two things that I have to do is meet my surgeon (I go on August 1st..) and then get my EKG done.. then hopefully I will have a surgery date.. ** fingers and toes crossed**

Is there a minimum amount of weigh You have to loss during pre-op. cause I am slowly dropping and may only lose 8-10 pound before surgery. I hope that won't be a factor.
