Dr. Bour Patients

 I am doing my 6 month pre op history for Aetna insurance.  I was curious.  Are we suppose to be trying to lose weight during these classes and stuff ?  No one has said that straight out.  I do remember Lacey telling me at my enrollment visit not to really lose right now just b/c of the insurance (approval).  A bit confused.... any answers would be most helpful.

I don't think it's about weight lose right now.  but it will be when you go on the liquid diet before surgery.  they set a weight for you to lose and you go for it.  I think right now you are suppose to just keep track of weight lose or gain.  I did lose 62 pounds before surgery  just cutting out soda's and going on 1200 calorie  but I was trying to get diabetes under control.  and I was huge. I just got a little healthier before surgery.  hope this helps...  But you should just ask Cammie, Lacy or Carmen  they can tell you what the insurance is looking for..
