My insurance is BCBS of Michigan and they require 6 months if supervised diets too. Thankfully, it has to be with in the last 4 years. 2 years ago my doctor put me on adipex and I have 6 months of documentation. So I had to get the documentation but that parts done!

I had to do 6 months as well. The first 3 months felt like forever, then after month 3, time flew by. My first appt was 2/24 and my surgery is 8/6. I used the time to help prepare myself mentally and read as much as I could.

I titally agree the first half went so slow, but now i am struggling to fit the last few appoinments in before i go back for my second consultation. I have been using this time to make peace with myself and the food.

Congrats on your decision! I am pre-op' date=' surgery scheduled for 9/11. I, too, am nervous and anxious, but when I have any concerns at all I turn to the wonderful people on this forum. If not for VST I'd be a wreck with wonder and worry of what's to come. So my best advice would be to take advantage of all of the knowledge and experience you'll find here! Good luck on your journey <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

Hope you are feeling well!

I am doing well. Still very sore, unable to bend or lift anything and I get very tired easily. But luckily no complications and NO PROBLEM getting all my Water in. The only thing I didn't expect is to have food cravings so soon! I'm still on liquids for another week, the two weeks of puréed and then two weeks of soft foods... Already I want junk: burgers and fries, pizza, sweets. I guess it's going to be a much harder struggle to change my ways than I originally anticipated!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
