Surprisingly, my insurance does not require a doctor supervised diet. I'm curious if your surgeon still made you do one and how quickly you were able to proceed with the surgery?
I am not required by both my insurance and Dr. to do a pre-op diet. In all I will have waited 6-7 months. They're telling me later January, early February. I can't wait! Good luck to you!
I was self-pay out of the country so I am not sure if supervised is the same as pre-op. I wasn’t required to do a pre-op diet. My doctor and paperwork said that was only for people with a BMI over 38. I was directed not to eat 24 hour before surgery. I did my own pre-op anyway just to get in the groove.
No, but I was self pay. I think almost all insurance companies typically require it. Consider yourself lucky!
Unless you are talking about the pre-op diet. Most of us had to do that, but I've heard of a few people that just couldn't eat after midnight before surgery.
