Re: weight loss pre op on liquid diet

Each insurance has different requirements. But they won't put you on a preop diet until/unless there will be an operation following the diet...that' why it's PRE OP. A diet to fulfill insurance requirements isn't uncommon, but its not called "preop" and isn't (usually) liquid. You might want to clarify if you are actually approved for the whole thing so you'll know! :)
