Answer Snippet
If I lose a pound and have a BMI of 34.6 will I no longer qualify?
Hope this helps
Apr 9, 2019
If you pay cash for the surgery you wont need to wait 3 months or worry about the insurance.
I usually use the initial visit weight when submitting to insurance companies, so that way if they lost some weight during the medically supervised diet it shouldn't be an issue.
Why am I able to eat n feel no discomfort 3 weeks post op??
You are adv your diet to fast
Apr 9, 2019
It sounds to me that you advanced your diet too fast. You should be on a puree or soft diet at the most. My patients are not allowed to eat meat or regular consistency food for 7-8 weeks after surgery. You should not be eat bread at all. Hot dogs are junk food. Hope this helps.
