6 month diet, prior to being sleeved



Recommended Posts

I just found out today because I didn't go to the Dr's for a weigh in February, there starting with March, I'm not even going complain cause I could of had to do the entire 6 month's, I didn't even know about the 6 month diet until last week, so I feel blessed and very grateful to have 3 months done, I had labs, I already met with the surgeon, so I have to meet with the dietician once a month June July and August, do a pre op class, my regular Dr wants me to have a consult with her before she gives me a letter, and I have to get a psych evaluation next Friday so it seems to be going pretty fast, I also found out I have to get my Iron over 12.1 & it's currently dangerously low at 7.6, thank you for letting me rant lol

No, I was close to the lower end of the cutoff weight for being approved, so I just had to do two weeks of staying the same weight. I had however given them proof that I had done many diets in the past without lasting success. Best of luck!

I got my sleeve over 4 years ago. Its a lot of work, but I love it. I took 3 years to get to goal, slipped up a bit, am up 12 pounds but heading south again. Its all good.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
