Looking Like November :(



Recommended Posts

Well I go for my consult next week but I did talk to the coordinator at the office. It is roughly taking 30 days to hear from insurance which puts me into October. I was hoping that would be my surgery month. However, she said there are several other appts and such to get through after insurance approval she said the soonest I would be able to have surgery is looking like first week of November. I know it will go by quickly as the 6 months did but man it seems so far away!!!! Been working on this it seems all year!!

The time will fly by. Can you believe it's almost September already?! Embrace the process, that will make it go by smoother. Good luck to you, wishing you lots of patience!

I don't blame you. I have felt like I've been in a bubble since this whole process started. I CANNOT wait for it to be over. Not only for the weight to come off but so I can stop thinking about it. My surgery is on the 14th and I cannot wait to start the liquid diet. Sooner it starts sooner it's over.

Took me 11 months from my first consult to my surgery date. Sucks but was worth it

I too had to wait the 6 months and then had to seem like jump through hoops to get True Results to send my file to the surgeon's office. But out of the blue last week they called me with a surgery date, I wasn't expecting the call until this week. But either way, I have surgery scheduled for 9/10. Trust me it will go by quickly. Seems like now I have the date it is crawling. Best of luck.

Thanks for all the kind words...I know in reality it will fly by but it sure seems like forever. I'm sure I will get more answers too next week during my consult.

      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.
