fingers crossed while insurance reviews! (Q on liquid diet while traveling)

[aviva1979 375]

I'd been thinking about the band for a couple of years and this December asked my PCP about it and she supported my looking into this/potentially having it done and referred me to a local bariatric surgery practice and my first appt was in Jan. Since then I've seen the nutritionist, psychiatrist, and attended the support groups all required by this practice/my insurance to move forward. My initial insurance application was submit early May and we heard back they wanted a letter from my PCP supporting the procedure and a physical showing I was healthy enough for surgery - both of those things happened this week and my request was resubmit today. now i'm a ball of nerves and should hear back by late next week.

my question for anyone who happens upon this: if i'm approved (please please please let me be approved) the surgical group thinks they could have me scheduled within 3 weeks (with 2 weeks for the liquid diet) - so that could potentially happen in June. I will be traveling for work a bit in June - has anyone done the liquid diet while on business travel? did you find it harder/easier than being in your own home? I will be having to interact with lots of people on pretty long days and i'm nervous i might be so hungry during this stint that i'll end up moody and not be able to the extroverted part of my job very well.

thanks for reading!
