Hi Massgal,
I am doing much better. No pain (from the surgery). I just started soft foods and its still uncomfortable to eat and I get crazy heartburn, even from a sip of water.
The approval process varies depending on what your insurance company requires. What insurance do you have? I have Harvard Pilgrim and they are one of the rare insurance companies that don't require the 6 month supervised weight loss program. I just had to do a bunch of tests (sleep study, upper gi exam, psych evals, nutrition appointments, etc.) and lost 10 percent of my body weight.
Losing the weight takes the longest. Once I lost the weight I got a surgery date.
Where are you having your surgery?
Let me know if you have any other questions.
