Got my Primary Care Physician Approval

[carolineinsc 4]

I'm brand new to this website. I am 36 and have been on a diet since I was 10, you name it, I tried it. I just made my 40< BMI (Yay chubby me) last week, Dr approved me, and now am just waiting for the bariatric surgery place to call me.

What can I expect now? I am in California with Blue Shield Access + ***.

I know there are nutritionalist sessions (How many?)

And a period of supervised diet (How long?)

yayyyyyy for you and the sessions and supervised diets really depends on your insurance and surgeon! I work for memorial Hermann hospital I had 3 NUT sessions and my pre op diet will be for 14 days once I receive my surgery date! good luck and welcome to the journey!

My pre-surgery diet was 3 weeks of opti-fast hell!! The post op diet is about 8 - 12 weeks and much easier
