Thank you. I started in July, I had to do the six month with the dietitian my final appointment with the dietitian was on December 5th. But once UHC approved me it was on December 31st. So now my doctor (Jonathan Taylor) was out of the office last week and this week all booked up so my appt with him is on Jan 16th. I was hoping to have the surgery in December but Now I just want it soon so I can be healthy and confident again :)

What's been you're experiences with the healing of yourincisions? I know we are more prone to getting keloids and just wanted to know if anyone had any ugly scaring.

Could it be that the plan changed January 1st. Can the insurance grandfather approval since you started the process prior to January.

Thank you

After being on the phone back in forth for for hours with the insurance company,

      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.
