Congrats on the approval and surgery date. But to clarify, MaineCare doesn't require the 6 months or that you lose any weight. They require BMI over 40 and at least 1 co-morbidity.
Topic: Met with the Surgeon, Surgery Scheduled!
Hi all! Keep reading the posts to educate myself on the possibilities post surgery....
I met with my surgeon, Dr. Cobean, Feb. 9. Surgery scheduled April 11. Was dissapointed that the surgery date is so far away, but it gives me time to lose more weight. I have lost 27 pounds since last October (on my own, no requirement to do so from my insurance or the program) because I want the lap procedure to go well. I am using the time to do more reading and following the posts......thank you for all your posts....you are inspiring!

Do you know if its six months of nutritionist visits or six visits? Im wondering how often I have to go and how often? The nutritionist I am seeing is giving me information that seems some what contradicting of what the SWLP wants me to do.
