Almost scheduled!
Jan 31, 2010
My first post is a positive one! Received the call from the surgeons office last Tuesday that I was approved by my insurance and will be scheduled for surgery by the end of February!Insurance requirements were pretty standard from what I have read - BMI over 40, 6 months medically supervised diet. Did the first 2 diet visits with my family doctor, rest with the dietitian affiliated with the surgeon's office.
So just waiting to hear back with a date for testing and a date for surgery. I don't know all the specifics of the pre and post op diets but will report them here.
Biggest concern is now that I have heard I have only a few weeks before my life changes forever, my appetite is in full force! And only for the worst of the worst - fast food. I am indulging now but am afraid it will make it harder to stick to the pre op diet if I don't get myself in check. One thing I have noticed is NONE of it tastes as good as i anticipated.
So that is it for now. I am hoping to get good support from others in my area going through WLS - I live about an hour from the nearest support group and not sure how many meetings I will get to. I also live alone and need a work out buddy. Anyone out there in Racine, WI?
