UHC came through and approved my band... I feel like a ton has been lifted off my shoulders.

They scheduled me for this Friday but I changed it to April 6th. Now I get to call back and see if I can change it back to Friday because of baby sitter issues and stuff.

Anyway, I'm in and on my way!! I'll keep ya posted.

Hey Al,

Congratulations! That is so cool.

UHC finally approved me too. The funny thing is I'm having surgery on April 6th. Are you my evil twin or something?

I'm pretty nervous right now, but also very excited. I bet you are too. Good luck to both of us!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I am rescheduled for this Friday. I'm REALLY scared about being put under. I'm trying to stay calm but with two very young boys it's a lot to worry about.

I'm just glad this will be over soon so I can get to the loosing weight part.

Good luck Becky!!!

      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.
