It all depends on your insurance requirements and the surgeon that you go to. My insurance company only said 6 month diet but didn't say how much I had to lose but my surgeon's office requires me to lose weight every month and not gain. They look at my food log every month so it has to be the most current food log. Everyone's requirements are different.

It sounds like you need to call your surgeon's office for clarification.

A food log isn't going to do you any good unless it is the actual, current food log. It is for your benefit.

      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.
