I'm getting excited and really starting to think this might happen. I've had the sleep study, 4 nutrition classes, and psyche eval. Everything was shipped off to Aetna PPO along with prior medical records on 27 May. In 15 business days or less I should know Aetna's decision. It's not really a question of approval, more a question of what else do they want. Next milestone will be consult and scheduling!

I really appreciate the good work by the members of this board. I don't post much, but I read a lot! Maybe that will change post-op...

I'm approved! July 12th. I have no idea how much my out of pocket is which is scary. Well, it's all scary, but so is diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke, and a host of other things. No room needed on the loser's bench because I hope I'm too busy:biggrin0:

Congrats on your date - as far as the cost to you is concerned, try offsetting it against the money you'll save on food long term......thats what I did with my husband, (although I didn't mention the fact I would need a WHOLE new wardrobe! :biggrin0:).

      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.
