The end of 6 month supervised diet!

[Ready set go! 20]

I'm nearing the end of my 6 month supervised diet in March. We are taking a vacation the first week in April and my hopes are to start my 2 week preop diet soon as we return and have the surgery the end of April. What is the process that takes place after your last appoint.? I've heard you have to do a class or something like this. As of now I've met all of my requirements and testing needed. Just wondering what goes on between last appoint. And surgery day. Thanks to all

You will probably need an endoscopy so they can get a look inside your stomach.

I also had nutrition classes and a psych eval that was part of the program.

You are almost there!

How exciting. I still have 3 more weigh-ins to go. From what I have read every surgeon has different requirements for their patients. I've already met with a dietician and had my behavior assessment. My surgeon requires a sleep study for all of his patients, so I guess that is next on my list. I already had my tummy scoped less than a year ago, so I don't have to do it again.

After this Thursday, I have 3 more weigh-ins too! My last appt. will be in May. By that time I'll have all my required prerequisites done! My NP told me that once everything is completed they'll submit the pre authorization for surgery to my insurance, and once it's approved, they'll call me back to schedule my pre-op appt. and said that that will take approximately four hours - plan on taking the day off.

Good luck with your sleeve! And keep us posted on how well you're doing!
