I started my journey on November 2010 and it is such a blessing to know I'm almost there. My surgeon's office sent in my paperwork on Monday for my insurance to review, and told me to call back in two weeks. Today (3 days after)I received a call from the office telling me that my insurance approved my case. Yeeeees!!!! Super happy! I'm meeting with my surgeon on May 18th ...that day I will be scheduled for surgery.

I just read your post and I wanted to say congrats!!! That is super! I am hoping that I get a fast approval from my insurance company as well. I have my last weight in on May 10th and they said it could take anywhere from 10 to 30 days before I hear anything back from them. Really want this so bad and I'm so looking forward to being banded in June if its at all possible. What insurance did you have out of curiosity? Well good luck to ya Yinette! Hope to hear from ya soon ;)

      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.
