I'm working on all the pre op paperwork before it's submitted to insurance for pre approval right now. Hope I can get surgery done by beginning of the year. Surgeon is in Richmond...anyone in the area that has had this done or working on it as well?

Hi Jen,

I live in Richmond and had the surgery done 12/16/09. BUT I went to mexico to get it done, insurance wouldnt pay and could not afford US prices. I have to go to Virginia Beach for my fills. Let me know if you have any questions, I am here.

How's it going for you? I hope you're approved! You may decide you can go without it if the WW works for you.

      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?

      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.
