I wish you well with your insurance. I was blessed in the fact that my insurance was all for it the only things I had to go through was what Dr. Patterson required. It was all rather quick for me. I wish you all the best for a speedy approval so you can move forward on your new journey. Blessings to you!!

I had no complications with my insurance. In fact after 3 yrs of asking my old insurance company I gave up. Then I switched companies and my approval was so fast that I was unprepared for it. Paperwork went through in early November. I had done all the prerequisites and I was banded 12/28/12.

My insurance required 6 months weight monitoring , seeing a nutritionist, and going to physical therapy .When I wright it down it doesn't seem like that much ,but the 6 months felt like it took a forever.

      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.
