miamax13 12 Posted January 27, 2014 I am almost 3 months into my 6 month pre-diet. The month of December was not easy! My surgeons office is going to try to submit after 3 months but I am not getting my hopes up - so I am figuring surgery in June. Anyone else out there?

woo woo 872 Posted January 27, 2014 Yep. I'm in the last month of the 3 month waiting period for my insurance. No date yet. Hoping for early March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honeyg317 107 Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Me,me,me! Surgery scheduled for March 20th @ UH. I had no diet requirements pre-op other than the 2 weeks prior to surgery, and was submitted on Monday and approved Tuesday. What hospital and surgeon are you using? Good luck with early approval!

miamax13 12 Posted January 28, 2014 I am almost at 3 months of diet. It is hard. I lost 4 lbs the first month then gained it back over the holidays!! How about you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woo woo 872 Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I am trying to focus on learning and internalizing the 4 rules that we are supposed to follow indefinitely post sleeve. I was bummed to learn that there is no Soup whatsoever including chili unless liquid is strained out. Wah. BUT I feel committed and if that's the rule then that is what I will do!

miamax13 12 Posted January 28, 2014 I know - I need to get focused on no drinking with meals... And no diet Pepsi!!!! It is going to be hard. Have you been to any of the pre op meetings? They are pretty informative - even though I am not really a "group" person! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
