Hi,

I just discovered this forum. I "joined" LBT last month which is also when I started my 6-month diet required by insurance. I currently have BCBS of TN but my company will change to Cigna in Jan. I'm working through my other pre-op requirements including WLS class (done), nut class and psych eval (to be scheduled).

Anyway, I was glad to see this forum. I've been craving carbs for the past couple of days but I think it's the change in season (for me that seems to be at trigger).

Hope to hear from others who have gone through this process.

I should have said 6 months diet required by insurance. I realize the "pre-op" diet is usually liquid-based.

      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.
