I attended my seminar on Jan 4. I turned in a packet and had told the nurse there that it wasn't complete, that I had to get my doctor's referral. She said, that is ok, just give us a call when you get it. So I got it..4 of them in writing. I called to pass on the info and the receptionist told me to leave a msg for the ins coordinator so I did and asked her to return my call. I didn't hear anything for a week so I called back,,the receptionist,,sounding a little frustrated said she would write the msg down and leave it on her desk, I told her I was sorry she had to go to that trouble, I just needed to turn in my info, she said no, don't feel bad..you deserve to hear something from her. She told me if I didn't hear from her within the next day to call back so I did. The ins coor. wasn't available..again. So they left another note for her. When I finally rec'd a return call from her..last Monday..she act like she was mad at me. She told me she was out of town and they should've told me that. She also said, "Oh, I sent your packet back to you because it was incomplete". I was like, you told me to call the info in when I got it and that's what I was trying to do. I told her I was never told she was out of town. Her tone changed and she said, well, I have a copy of your packet right here in front of me and well..I'll just take the info you have over the phone and turn it all back into the clinician. I asked her about all the paperwork I have, she's like,,well just bring it in when you come for your consult with the physician. I said, when will that be,,and she said in a couple days,,they will call. I still haven't heard anything. This is supposed to be the best in the state? I've been held up for a month. Should I be angry? Is this all normal?

      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.
