Good luck on your surgery date. I finished my last dr's visit for the insurance. Now my paperwork will be put in for insurance approval. Can't wait for approval and date. I am told surgery should be in the early part of September, can't wait.

Congratulations and Good luck on your approval. My surgical date is also September 14. I was approved about 2 months ago but my surgeon was booked up until then. I won't do my second surgical consult with the doctor or the get the presurgical diet from the nutritionist until the last week in August. I hope you keep in touch.

Congratulations!! That is so exciting! Just wanted to tell you to be sure to take your measurements now & write them down, and to take some before pictures! You will want these things later so that you can see all of your great progress! :)

I put together a post with some other advice for new bandsters and am including a link here -- hope it's helpful!

Best wishes for the approval and your success!! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
