That's how long my process took. It was submitted to insurance on march 21 and it took three months with them. It seemed that little things with paperwork kept getting messed up. But as soon as I was approved the process is fast.

Hello --

My papers have been submitted to the insurance company and I am waiting for a reply. My doctor said for me to call this Tuesday to see where we are in the approval process.

I am so scared. I would love to talk to some people 60+ years old that have the band. I thought about the sleeve but, don't cherish the idea of being cut and stapled or stitched up. My insurance does not yet pay for the sleeve.

I had no idea that you only lost 1 to 2.5 pounds a week???? I thought it was a greater/quicker loss. I will just work harder to loose it. Also, I can't exercise much at all. Low-low-oxygen. That sure does concern me.

They told me I would be on liquids for sometime after the surgery. How can you not loose lots of weight drinking liquids?

How was your pain after the surgery? My neighbor had to have her band removed a week after she got it as she was alergic to the material it contained.

Good luck on all ya'll getting your bands this month and next. Just keep that positive attitude and a song in your heart.

      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.
