Wow that is pretty fast. I had my nutrition appt first. It was kind of a waste of time. All they did was tell me what I already know. Eat more lean Protein, fruits, and veggies. They did go over portion size and what it will be post surgery.

My wellness visit was also quick. It was done at the hospital and they just test your endurance and how your body responds to physical activity.

My psych eval took FOREVER. I had to go to the office 3 times. The first was just to talk with the guy about the surgery (basically it was like therapy). Then, the next visit I had to complete a questionaire on the computer. It took about 20-30 minutes. Then I had to come back a 3rd time to read the results and go over his findings.

After everything is done and you have submitted it to the surgeon's office, they will send it to your insurance for approval. This can take from 2-4 weeks. Some are fast, some are slow. Once you get this, if approved, they will schedule your surgery date (depending on the surgeon, you may have some sort of pre-op diet). If denied, they will go back and redo your paperwork and try again. It all depends on the insurance after your part is done.

Good luck!!

      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.
