Praying for you, hon. In our own case, my husband's insurance did not cover any form of bariatric surgery, but the Lord seemed to make a way where there was no way in which we could do a self-pay for him to have the surgery. I just kept praying that if this was God's will for His life, that it would be provided for. (We were also in a position where we just couldn't see going into debt for it.)

You should be be proud of your accomplishment in already losing so much weight from your starting point. You have done a good job.:thumbup: It could be that you can do the rest without the surgery. I would just encourage you to look to the Lord to provide a way for you, however that would be best for your life. Try not to get discouraged!

High, I'm KayKay's husband. I just joined the forum yesterday. See my initial post where I tell my story under the name Fencepost. I encourage you not to give up. If this is important and you really want this ask God for him to provide a way for you. We will pray that he will help you. Insurance companies are changing what they will cover every day now. I just saw on a video that my insurance company has started covering the sleeve. It didn't cover mine because of a company exclusion for all weight loss surgeries, but that might not be the case for you. Job's change, situations change. Who knows how your answer might come, but don't give up. Our proyers will be with you.

      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.
