Just called my insurance company and i have been approved. Busted out crying at work out of pure relief and excitement. Waiting for a call back from the surgeon's office on next step. I am beyond excited at this moment!!!!!

to all of you that have been banded I want to say thank you for the advice (the good and bad times) that you bring to this forum. I have read and studied and made notes from all of this. I know I have the support here to fall back on when i feel down or out. THANK YOU!

Now i am freaking out. the surgeons office asked me to call and have the insurance company fax a letter stating i was approved instead of waiting on it via mail. the guy i spoke with asked if my surgeon was in network. With my insurance to cover the doctor has to be in network..now I am confused and wondering if i got excited too early.

      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.
