@@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!

What do you have left to do? And have you got any of the Vitamins?

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.!!

      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.
