@@roni56 Assuming you are getting surgery because you are morbidly obese or obese with comorbities - the chance of dying prematurely from obesity related disease is much greater than mortality rates from surgery. You're doing this so you will have many healthy years with your little girl! Good luck!

I hope you meant to ask me...

I have samples that the nutritionist gave me but no I have not gotten my Vitamins. Honestly I'm trying to figure out what will meet the requirements but still be cost efficient because I don't want to spend a bunch of money monthly for vitamins.

I have nothing left to do except for whatever they do preop. I start my diet tomorrow. Other than that I'm just waiting until the date. You?

My doctors office wouldn't give me a date until I had all of my evaluations done. I had to be cleared by the nutritionist, and the psychologist first. My insurance had to approve me first too. My insurance company has assigned a case manager nurse whom has had the surgery as well so I can ask her all the questions!

I guess that's why I'm not nervous because I'm pretty much there. My biggest hurdle will be this pre op diet for the next three weeks!

@@charmming i has my psych evaluation and the medical necessity letter plus 3 month of nutritionist for my insurance to approve 2.. But the medical clearance and the blood work it has to be a list 1 month old and I just finish my nutritionist app like 1 week ago so the surgery is moving pretty fast for me.!!
