I have had to jump through a couple more hoops (the aforementioned upper GI PLUS two unpleasant little cardiac tests) but I finally have approval from both the insurance company and the surgeon. I am currently doing the pre-operative liver shrinking diet...ugh! It's about 800-1000 calories, minimal carbs, lean meats and non-starchy veggies. With WW and this pre-op diet, I will be down over 30 pounds before my surgery. I'm hoping for a pre-operative weight of about 245. Right now I'm 249, and the surgery is scheduled for February 21...so it's not just possible, but likely. I might even be under 240!
For now, I'm hungry and cranky and just wish it was the 21st already!
