So tired of waiting....



Recommended Posts

I am so tired of waiting. I had my 3 appointments over a month ago. I called this morning to check on my paper work.. I was informed that it is sitting on the surgeon's desk for final approval. When I asked for a possible time frame for surgery, the office manager informed me that I'm now looking at beginning of April. It is so frustrating as I was told end of February. I guess I just need to keep my chin up and hope that I have a date within a week of so.

Sorry I know how hard it is to wait and it felt like forever for me too. It took almost a year for me to find the right surgeon and complete all his requirments and then I was so mad I had to weight several months after all that for a date. It will happen dont give up!

I'm in the WAITING stage too and I HATE IT! I was so HOPING to be SLEEVED on Dec 27th but my problem is with insurance! Waiting for them to approve and as someone posted before I had to JUMP THROUGH HOOPS! They want to wait until January so I have to meet my deductable AGAIN! As I was told HANG IN THERE!!!

ALSO, KEEP CALLING your Doctor's office and keep PUSHING!!! You will bug them so much they will want to get you over with. LOL

Sorry to hear both of you are playing the waiting game. I think that part is the worst. I was blessed to have everything go quick. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

      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.
