Congratz! I had Blue Shield of CA also and they approved me very quickly and the paperwork was minimal.
You are in great hands with Dr. Wetter....my surgery and recovery were picture perfect.
Good luck and listen to what they say during your "pre-op" day.
If you have any questions or anything hit me up........maybe see you at the support group May 5th?

Hi there!! I have a lot of questions!! :D My preop appointment with Dr. Wetter is next Monday and I know he could answer but since you offered...:) What preparing did you have to do dietarily before surgery? Liquid diet JUST the day before? Or the week?
I DO plan on going to the support group meeting as it will be the last I can go to before surgery, I look forward to meeting you :)

Dr. Wetter did not require a "pre op" diet. Just the standard liquid diet 24 hours pre surgery and they should go over that with you at the last pre op seminar.
I would advise you though to make some dietary changes. I had did have 3 "last meals" about a month before surgery. However, from 3 weeks on I was extremely diligent and ate very low carb (protein, vegetables only). Then for five days pre surgery I went on my own liquid diet (protein shakes only).
It wasn't "required" but it took some more weight off and helped me get in the mind set required after surgery. I don't think I could have eaten crap 2-3 days before....had surgery....and then suddenly been mentally "in the game" - if that makes sense.
Do what you feel is right for you but there was no required pre op diet. I do know that he is very strict about your weight. If you gain weight pre op....its not good. I don't know if he would post pone it...but yeah....don't gain weight. :)
Oh and just FYI....I loved Dr. Wetter......I had absolutely no issues what so ever and the experience was great.
