I was medically cleared today and had my psych eval as well. I meet with the surgeon tomorrow and then my paperwork will be submitted to Tricare!! Praying for a swift approval!!! The rest of this has gone so fast that my head is spinning. LOL

I think my initial inquiry appointment was April 29. I finished all appointments today and am having surgery on May 24. I totally agree.......FAST. I am excited and scared at the same time. Good luck to you.

i am also new to this. I attend the lap band seminar next week then i can make an appointment with the surgeon. I also have tricare, do you know if they ask that you have 6 months of consistant weighing in before approval? I hope not!! i really want to get this whole process going!! Best of luck!! :)

I think Tricare North requires it, but Triwest did not.

Thank you everyone. I got my surgery date today!!! AHHHHH!!!!! I'll be having surgery on 5/27...I can't believe it!

      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.
